NBC's LAPD Books Three Stars

Regina King by Rebecca Sapp/WireImage.com
John Wells the mighty force behind
The West Wing and
ER has cast his new
LAPD project with
Regina King,
Kevin Alejandro and
Michael McGrady for NBC.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter, King will play Lydia, a smart, sympathetic detective in the Hollywood division.
Alejandro will play Nate, a happily married detective with several kids, and McGrady will play a detective who deals primarily with gang-related crimes and is obsessed with his family's safety.
All that's missing is the wise-cracking "goofball" character, but it's still early in the casting process. What's Justin Long up to these days?
And for all you
The O.C. fans out there, stay tuned, because
Benjamin McKenzie is also in talks to star in
LAPD. Ladies, start your fangirl engines! -
