On the Cynopsis website today, the newest installment on the Cynopsis | Sports news page, “Golf Channel Now a Feather in NBC’s Cap”, written by Chris Pursell. Feel free to add your comments or thoughts at the bottom of the Sports page about his story, his opinions, suggestions on future stories and or anything else.
Justin Bruening (Knight Rider) added to cast of NBC’s Wonder Woman remake. Adrienne Palicki stars as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince in the pilot written by David E. Kelley. Bruening plays Steve Trevor, an army vet who works in the Justice Dept. and a potential love interest for Diana.
ABC’s dramedy pilot Good Christian Bitches cast Mark Deklin (Desperate Housewives) as a rugged, metrosexual cowboy married to one of the former Dallas classmates of Amanda (Leslie Bibb).
David Ramsey (Dexter) landed a role in The CW pilot Cooper & Stone about Jenna Cooper (Alex Breckenridge) and Stone (Vanessa Ferlito), two smart detectives working on Chicago’s North Side who are equally adept at talking fashion, music and pop culture as they are solving crimes. Ramsey will play Mazzara, a veteran cop.
NBC’s untitled workplace comedy pilot hired Adrian Pasdar as the male lead playing opposite Sarah Paulson.
Katee Sackhoff joins the A&E pilot Longmire whose central character is a Wyoming sheriff (Robert Taylor) and Sackhoff will play Vic, one of his deputies. The series is based on the Walt Longmire Mystery novels by Craig Johnson.
HBO’s upcoming original movie Game Change, about John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, tapped Woody Harrelson to play Steve Schmidt, McCain’s senior campaign strategist and advisor.
Making his first TV acting appearance in primetime in more than 20 years, Tom Hanks will guest star on NBC’s 30 Rock this spring. There are no details on his role though he likely will play himself.
An untitled one-hour drama is on tap for FX produced by Richard Branson’s Virgin Produced company. Oliver Stone is attached to direct and produce the pilot along with Adam Gibgot who is writing. The plot is about a secret group called Darkhorses who create fake news stories that serve the agendas of powerful clients and the project is apparently based on a real-life person involved in this practice.
