Pilot News: CBS Eyes Melissa George and Cole Hauser
Melissa George, Cole Hauser
Abruptly exiting Grey's Anatomy didn't leave Melissa George out of work for long. The Aussie beauty has in short order joined the ensemble cast of CBS' as-yet-untitled legal drama about federal prosecutors based out of Manhattan.
George, says The Hollywood Reporter, will play a Los Angeles Assistant District Attorney who moves cross-country to join her ex-husband's (Jason Clarke) team. (Er, that would seem to be a questionable call.) In addition to Brotherhood's Clarke, Lennie James (Jericho) was previously cast on this pilot.
Elsewhere on the Eye, Cole Hauser (K-Ville) is bound for Washington Field, Criminal Minds boss Ed Bernero's drama pilot about an elite team of FBI agents that tackles crises around the world. Hauser will play the squad's supervisor.
