Pilot News: Werewolf Is Elisha's Long-distance Lover

Elisha Cuthbert's across-the-pond amour has been cast, and I'm reckoning he might just be worth the long lines at airport security. Will Kemp, whose credits include playing the werewolf in Van Helsing, has landed the male lead in NY-LON, the CBS pilot about a New York City woman and a London stockbroker trying to make a bicontinental romance work. I liked this IMDb tidbit about the U.K.-born Kemp: While performing with Matthew Bourne's dance company, he was likened to "the James Dean of ballet" by "smitten" Paramount boss Sherry Lansing. He also apparently shook what his momma gave him in a Gap ad campaign. — MWMRelated:• 24 Alumna Elisha Cuthbert Tries Long-distance LoveMore pilot casting news:• Geena Davis' Bro Is One Shaggy Dude• Billy Campbell Is Talkin' About a Revolution• Ex Marks the Spot for Grey's Jane Doe• Prison Breaker, Meet Simon Baker!• A Runaway Joins the New 90210
