REBECCA ROMIJN JOINS
ROB LOWE IN 'THE PRO' SITCOM
We shall have a TV Monday today with lots of television updates and news, starting with our beloved Rebecca Romijn who has, according to 'The Hollywood Reporter' just joined Rob Lowe in NBC's upcoming new drama pilot THE PRO! The comedy series will be set in and around a tennis and golf club pro shop with Lowe playing Ben Bertrahm, a former doubles champion who is reunited with his ex-partner Bobby Welch (Rob Riggle) after a public feud that left them both floundering in life. Romijn will play Margot, a driven but insecure and lovable 1 percenter who is a board member at the prestigious L.A. Tennis & Golf Club, taking lessons from Ben. She lost her husband in a heli-skiing accident and though she dates, she's never gotten serious about any other man since then. Ben wouldn't mind breaking that streak. Rebecca Romijn is no stranger to TV, you've seen her in UGLY BETTY, PEPPER DENNIS and KING & MAXWELL.
ROBERT BUCKLEY
JOINS CW'S 'iZOMBIE' DRAMA Another of the gorgeous television faces we love to watch, hunky Robert Buckley has joined CW's unusual new show iZOMBIE! According to 'Deadline' it will be a supernatural crime procedural that centres on a med student turned zombie who takes a job in the coroner’s office to gain access to the brains she must reluctantly eat to maintain her humanity, but with each brain she consumes, she inherits the corpse’s memories. Buckley will play Major, Liz’s former fiance who is trying to make the transition to friend. Robert Buckley was brilliant in LIPSTICK JUNGLE, 666 PARK AVENUE and in ONE TREE HILL.
BOJANA NOVAKOVIC IS 'AGATHA'
Deadline also reports that ABC drama pilot AGATHA has also found their
two lead stars. In the show, which centres on a former convict and now a
big city criminologist who is brought in to help local police crack a
case involving a perplexing disappearance, Aaron Ashmore will play Jimmy
McAuliffe, a handsome, good-humored and good-natured “meat and
potatoes” guy who is a beat cop with the Philly PD and lives in the
shadow of his father! Serbian actress Bojana Novakovic will take the lead role of AGATHA after she had starred in RAKE!
DAVID ANNABLE JOINS
'RED BAND SOCIETY' SERIES AT FOX
iZombie sounds like an interesting twist. Is this going to be a crime show?
ReplyDeleteyep, a crime procedural obviously with a zombie twist :) And probably a bit teensy since it's on CW
DeleteLooks like some interesting new series coming to TV.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pilot season so we have tones of new projects to look forward to... or not :)
DeleteAgatha sounds like it might be fun - hope they can pull it off!
ReplyDeletefingers crossed :)
DeleteOooh, I am loving all of these! David is so cute-happy to hear his star is shining bright~ iZombie should be very interesting- Happy Monday Dezzy!
ReplyDeleteI like David too. I was a bit shocked to see how much he grew older in recent few years. His hair is grey now! Not that it doesn't look on him :)
DeleteI do like the sound of iZombie!
ReplyDeletegotta love them zombies!
DeleteThe Pro sounds like it might be an interesting series.
ReplyDeletewe do like the casting so far :)
DeleteIZombie! A super title. I wish I'd thought of it first. Looks like a lot of new stuff is happening.
ReplyDeletewell you can always invent some zombie alligators, sister :)
DeleteRebecca Romjin is so pretty - I loved her as Mystique :)
ReplyDeleteI loved her in all her roles, both her and her husband :) They're so cute people!
Deletenow i wish i didn't change my name, i was the original iZombie... sorry so late today, i am spiraling out of control.
ReplyDeleteYou're the original zombie, Jeremy, the outbreak started with you :PPP
DeleteHaven't seen David Annable since Brothers and Sisters. Which I loved! I shall look forward to the RED BAND SOCIETY. Provided we get it here. Sometimes I think people forget NZ is even on the earth ... sigh ...
ReplyDeletethe cast for the new show is rather great so far!
DeleteWhat was they witch show Rebecca was in? Was it called Eastwick? I really loved that show. I was so sad when it got cancelled! I love her!
ReplyDeleteI think my dear Lindsay Price was also in it. I love both of them.
DeleteI used to have the biggest crush on Rebecca Romijn when I was younger
ReplyDeleteI think most of men still have :)
DeleteI think more people know of Rebecca Romijn because she was married to John Stamos. Well, maybe I'm speaking for myself. That's how I know her. This one (like the others) will be a "wait and see" deal for me. IZombie sounds interesting...
ReplyDeletemethinks it's the other way around :) Most people know of Stamos because he was married to Rebecca LOL At least outside USA where we pretty much forgot him after FULL HOUSE until he married Rebecca who was a famous world top model at that time
DeleteShirt and pants off. Good on you.
ReplyDeletewe wouldn't like Robert any other way :) Well... maybe without those two too :)
DeleteYou crack me up. Always fun to come here, even if I don't watch a lot of the shows. Still a nice blog to visit. And with that, I'm posting a new post and getting my butt in the kitchen for another test batch of fun.
Deletegood luck with baking!
