Pilots 'Revolution', 'Baby Big Shot' & 'Carrie Diaries' Add Regulars (original) (raw)

Rescue Me alumna Andrea Roth and JD Pardo (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2) have been cast in NBC’s JJ Abrams/Eric Kripke drama pilot Revolution, directed by Jon Favreau. The high-octane action drama follows a group of people struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist. Roth, repped by Domain and Levine/Okwu/Erickson, will play Rachel, the mother of two of the leads. Prado, repped by Innovative Artists and One Talent Management, will play Nate, an expert archer.

Erin Cummings, who has played Spartacus’ enslaved wife on Starz’s Spartacus: Blood and Sand, has joined the cast of CBS’ drama pilot Baby Big Shot. The project, from writer Dana Calvo, showrunner Kevin Falls, Sony TV and Jamie Tarses’ Fanfare, is a legal drama centered on Martina (Janet Montgomery), a working-class woman who uses her street smarts to compete with her more polished colleagues at a top New York law firm. Cummings will play Martina’s sexually heightened older sister. The actress, repped by Untitled Entertainment, was recently seen in the film Bitch Slap, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, and in a recurring role on ABC’s Pan Am. She just wrapped the feature Iceman.

Chloe Bridges has been added to the CW pilot Carrie Diaries. The project, based on Candace Bushnell’s novel, chronicles Carrie Bradshaw’s (AnnaSophia Robb) coming of age in the 1980s when she asks her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while exploring the worlds of high school and Manhattan. Bridges, repped by APA and Industry, will play Carrie’s nemesis Donna Ladonna, the popular girl who is confident and savvy with more there than meets the eye
