CBS' CODE BLACK
  • Meagan Good (Minority Report, Mr. Robinson) has been cast in a recurring role on the drama's first season. Debuting in the February 10 episode, she will play Dr. Grace Adams, a talented attending physician who returns to the hospital after a stint in Haiti doing humanitarian work. She and Neal (Raza Jaffrey) also share a romantic history.
NBC's CHICAGO FIRE
  • Graceland alum Brandon Jay McLaren has joined the drama's fourth season in a recurring role. He will play a former gangster who has since become a politician.
LIFETIME's DEVIOUS MAIDS
  • Ryan McPartlin (Chuck) has booked a recurring role on the upcoming fourth season of the hit dramedy. He will play Kyle, a sweet, fun and impossibly sexy new neighbor. He's basically every woman's fantasy except for one small catch - he has an unusually close relationship with his mother.
FOX's THE LAST MAN ON EARTH
  • Fresh off his Critics Choice win for his role in the Oscar-nominated film Room, Jacob Tremblay has been tapped to play a young version of Phil (Will Forte) on an upcoming episode of the comedy's second season.
FOX's THE GRINDER
  • Colton Haynes (Arrow, Teen Wolf) will appear in the February 2 episode of the comedy's first season. He will play Luke, who joined Dean's (Rob Lowe) legal show The Grinder in order to help ground his hotshot attorney character as his newly discovered son. Luke tries to steer his father toward becoming a family man again rather than going down an unsavory path.
DIRECTV's FULL CIRCLE
  • Harold Perrineau, Christopher Gorham, Max Arciniega, Bob Stephenson, Raymond Cruz, Laura San Giacomo and Graham Beckel will round out the cast of the anthology series' upcoming third season. Perrineau will play Damon Houserman, Faulkner's (Dougray Scott) trusted campaign manager. Gorham will play Rick D'Andres, Faulkner's loyal Secret Service agent.

Cruz will play Federico Sturgis, a man with his hands in organized crime with the intent to bring down Faulkner. Giacomo will play Elena Medina, a down-on-her-luck reporter.
