~ PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT ~

NBC has picked up a modern-day series about the Hatfields & McCoys from actress Charlize Theron and her Denver and Delilah Productions company.  The project would be produced by ABC Studios where Theron has an overall deal.  Dawn Olmstead and Beau Flynn are also involved as producers and John Glenn will write.  Theron so far is attached as a producer.

Three actors are joining a trio of SHOWTIME programs: Valerie Cruz, who has appeared in multiple episodes on True Blood and Dexter, is joining Homeland during season two as Major Joy Mendez.  Cruz’ role begins as a guest starring stint that may become a recurring role.  Matt Gerald (Avatar, The Shield) will be a part of Dexter’s cast for the seventh season.  He will play a blue-collar violent criminal in a multi-episode run.  Gerald is also in the new ABC drama Last Resort.  For Californication, Maggie Grace was just added as a professional muse to rock bands.  Newcomer Meghan Falcone is joining to play a groupie roommate named Shari to Grace’s role.

Rocky Carroll made a deal with CBS to remain on NCIS for its tenth season in his role as Director Vance, per TVLine.

Casting Call: An Emmy Award-winning production company is currently casting in Los Angeles for the new reality series, Beverly Hills Pawn.  The production company is seeking people with dynamic personalities who have unique or rare items that can be featured in the series.  Do you have a one-of-kind item that you no longer need? Have you been looking for a way to make some fast cash?  Does your item have an interesting story behind it?  Send your story via email to: [email protected] and include your name, age, contact info, photo and a description about your items with photos.
