One-time Early Edition and Short Circuit star Fisher Stevens will be joining the cast of Ugly Betty in a recurring role as ... Betty's landlord, says EW.com's Michael Ausiello.

Yep, that would mean that Betty will be moving out of her family home and striking out on her own again - after her failed bid at leaving the nest last season.

Only, with Stevens' no-nonsense, sarcastic "Mr Z" lording it over her, er, land, Betty may soon regret her decision.
