Daryn Strauss from DigitalChickTV.com has a great interview with our own Rachel Risen (Alina) about what's in store for season 5. Here's an excerpt but you can read the entire interview here.

DARYN: Wilson has again put together an impressive cast for this season. Who did you get to work with?

DARYN: Any actor/actress you haven’t worked with yet that you’d love to work with?

RACHEL: I would love to have worked more with Rachael Hip-Flores. She’s adorable this season. I think she’s just so sweet and wonderful.

DARYN: Wilson has again put together an impressive cast for this season. Who did you get to work with?

RACHEL: I was pretty lucky. I think I had a scene with pretty much everyone between this season and last. I loved working with Mark Gantt and Craig Bierko this season. We had two really fun scenes. But Thom Woodley (stalk him, he’s hilarious), Taryn Southern, Sandeep, Tony Janning, Milo Ventimiglia (so cool), Jessica Rose, and more, I mean Geez Louise if you love web TV, you may touch yourself over this season.

It's official!

Read Full Press Release

Illeana Douglas (Easy to Assemble, Entourage), Craig Bierko (Damages, Cinderella Man) and Milo Ventimiglia (The Divide, Heroes) will guest star on the upcoming fifth season of The Temp Life (http://www.thetemplife.tv), the original comedy web series sponsored by and produced for Spherion Staffing Services since 2006, premiering December 6th on My Damn Channel.

Temp Life creator/producer and star Wilson Cleveland enlisted The Legend of Neil’s Tony Janning and Gabe Uhr to write the new season which finds Nick “Trouble” Chiapetta (Cleveland) resuming control of hiring temps at Celltons, now the number-two cellphone button-maker in the country. When Celltons’ icy CEO, Eve Randall (Douglas reprising her role), believes one of Nick’s temps is sabotaging the company from within, everybody is a suspect including Nick’s estranged stepbrother Eddie (Bierko), a socially-ungraceful cafeteria temp (Ventimiglia) and other temp hires played by new and returning guest stars Tony Janning, Sandeep Parikh (The Guild, The Legend of Neil), Taryn Southern (Rules of Engagement) Mark Gantt (The Bannen Way), Jessica Rose (lonelygirl15, Greek), Ben Blair and Anyone But Me's Rachel Hip-Flores.

The Temp Life Among Ad Age's '5 Branded SeriesThat Work'

2010-08-09T20:13:16Z

"The Temp Life"
Spherion

The Premise: Staffing and temping agency Spherion wanted to make students, recent grads and entry-level professionals aware of its job-finding services when it signed up to sponsor CJP Digital Media's "The Temp Life" back in 2006. As the series evolved and the job market worsened, the "Temp Life" took on an almost meta-reality for the agency as its audience adopted the temp lifestyle portrayed by the series' characters.

The Result: Recently renewed for a fifth season, "The Temp Life" has quietly become the longest-running branded series on the web, with each season adding an average of 85% more viewers, according to web-video measurement firm Tubefilter. Spherion Corp. CEO Roy Krause has publicly declared the series his company's top marketing priority.
