Amazon's Red Oaks and AMC's Galyntine.
AMAZON's RED OAKS
- Craig Roberts (Submarine, Neighbors) has landed the lead role on the comedy pilot opposite Richard Kind and Jennifer Grey. He will play David Myers, a college student who's hired as an assistant tennis pro at the predominately Jewish Red Oaks country club circa 1985 and tries to figure out what kind of life he wants to lead.
AMC's GALYNTINE
- Alex Russell (Carrie) has been cast on the drama pilot starring Catherine Dent and Peter Fonda. He will play Roman, an orphan who was unofficially adopted by his best friend Aethys' family, and he hopes to marry Aethys' sister Essyn to make his membership in the family official. A very public victory appears to cement his status as a future leader of the colony, but a twist of fate - and a deeply wounding betrayal - set him on a different, more dangerous path.
