Drama on the high seas? Little more than a week after CBS announced that Jim Caviezel would lead CBS' Navy SEAL pilot, the network has replaced him with Bones star David Boreanaz . Cavizel, known for portraying former special op John Reese in CBS' Person of Interest , split from the project -- and the network, it appears -- due to creative differences with CBS TV Studios, according to Deadline . Boreanaz is more than an ample fallback option. The Bones star won't be out of work for long -- the Fox forensics drama airs its series finale next week. In addition to Bones , Boreanaz is known for starring in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel . The CBS pilot follows a team of SEALs as they train, plan and execute dangerous missions. Boreanaz will be Jason, the well-regarded leader of an assault team with a long history of deployments and the scars to prove it. The pilot is written by Justified 's Ben Cavell and directed by Shameless ' Chris Chulack, with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly also on board. (Full disclosure: TVGuide.com is owned by CBS.)
