Spencer, 33, will play Matthew Casey, a natural leader at Firehouse 55 who is struggling in his personal life after recently separating from his wife. Taylor Kinney is also starring in the pilot.

Spencer's casting follows that of House co-star Peter Jacobson, who signed on for a possible recurring role on Showtime's Ray Donovan pilot shortly after Fox announced that House would wrap in May.
