'Angel' Alum Kane, Williams Land CBS Pilots
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Former "Angel" co-star Christian Kane and
three-time Emmy nominee JoBeth Williams have joined the casts of
pilots at CBS.
"Trapper John, M.D." star Gregory Harrison and Jason Wiles have also
taken parts in projects set up at the network.
Kane, who played revenge-driven Wolfram & Hart lawyer Lindsey
McDonald on "Angel," has taken a part in "American Crime," according
to The Hollywood Reporter. The show, one of many being produced by
Jerry Bruckheimer TV this pilot season, revolved around a female
prosecutor (Jennifer Finnigan, "Committed") who's also a new mother.
In addition to "Angel," Kane's credits include "Friday Night Lights"
and "Just Married." He also has a part in TNT's forthcoming
miniseries "Into the West."
Williams, who stars in the TNT movie "14 Hours" this weekend, will
play Tiffani Thiessen's mom in "Stroller Wars," a comedy about a
young couple (Thiessen and Darren Ritchie) who are adjusting to
being
parents. It would be her first regular sitcom role since she starred
in CBS's there-and-gone "Payne" in 1999.
She earned an Emmy nomination in 1995 for a guest-starring role
on "Frasier" to go along with nods in the 1980s for the
telefilms "Adam" and "Baby M."
Harrison, meanwhile, will star opposite Susie Essman in an untitled
comedy co-created by the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actress. The actor,
who played the president in TBS's "First Daughter" movies and
starred
in the short-lived series "Safe Harbor," will play Essman's new
husband, who moves her from the city to the suburbs.
Finally, Wiles has joined Jeri Ryan, David Arquette, Christine
Taylor
and Johnathon Schaech in the cast of "Commuters," a drama about
three
couples who live in the New York suburbs and take the train to work
in Manhattan. Wiles plays Bosco on NBC's "Third Watch," which is
ending its run this season.
