ABC's QUANTICO
- Blair Underwood (L.A. Law, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) has joined the drama's upcoming second season as a new series regular. He will play Owen Hall, a character with an instant presence who is charming, direct and comfortable. He is the intelligent and inspirational CIA officer every fledgling operative wishes he or she could learn from. But is he running them, or using them for something else?
CBS' CODE BLACK
- Rob Lowe (The West Wing, The Grinder) has been cast as a new series regular on the drama's upcoming second season. He will play Col. Ethan Willis, a doctor in the U.S. military's prestigious combat casualty care research program who has been pulled out of a combat hospital in Afghanistan and embedded at Angels Memorial to teach what the military has learned about combat medicine. His aggressive, rule-breaking style is greeted enthusiastically by Dr. Leanne Rorish (Marcia Gay Harden), but not by all the other doctors.
