TNT's SNOWPIERCER
- Roberto Urbina (Narcos) and Katie McGuinness (Roots) have been cast on the drama pilot starring Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs. Urbina will play avi, part of a polyamorous relationship that's reeling from a personal tragedy. He also works on The Breach Team, the train's equivalent of a fireman. McGuinness will play Josie McConnell, a strong, no-nonsense woman who lives in poverty at the tail of the train. She cares for her sick husband as well as their precocious son. She would do anything for her family, and when unforeseen circumstances turn their lives upside-down, she'll learn exactly how far she'll go.
