CRACKLE's THE OATH
- Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, Legends) has been cast in the lead role on the upcoming drama created by Joe Halpin. He will play Tom Hammond, a hard-charging cop and ruthless leader of the prominent gang made up of those who are meant to enforce the law. After doing a deal with an undercover FBI agent, Hammond finds himself behind bars. After he's released, his desire to make his way back to the top of the food chain and back in control of the gang he once led puts him head to head with those who used to have his back.
TNT's MAJOR CRIMES
- Underground star Amirah Vann has booked a recurring role on the drama's upcoming sixth season. She will play Special Agent Jazzma Fey, a team player whose loyalty is tested by a zealous partner determined to score political points while Jazzma focuses her energy on the crime.
CBS' 9JKL
- After guest starring in the pilot, Albert Tsai (Trophy Wife, Dr. Ken) has been promoted to series regular on the upcoming comedy starring Mark Feuerstein. He plays Ian, a precocious cinephile who is unimpressed with Josh's (Feuerstein) TV career. Very smart, sophisticated, mature and outspoken, Ian is a latchkey kid who hangs out in the lobby because his single mom is always at work. In many ways, he is more grown up than Josh.
SHOWTIME's RAY DONOVAN
- Kim Raver (24, Grey's Anatomy) has landed a recurring role on the drama's upcoming fifth season. She will play Dr. Bergstein, a cutting-edge surgeon.
