Up and Down the Ladder

The chase continues to find the next big show with the greatest cast.

Damages‘ Anastasia Griffith is cast in NBC pilot Trauma.
The pilot for another NBC show, Day One, will bring to the screen E.R.‘s David Lyons, 24‘s Carly Pope, Epic Movie‘s Adam Campbell and Sleeper Cell‘s Thekla Reuten.

Alias/In Treatment/Grey’s Anatomy‘s Melissa George is also now joining Lennie James and Jason Clarke in the still-untitled CBS drama about N.Y. attorneys and prosecutors.

Charmed‘s Alyssa Milano will be on another untitled drama, this time from ABC and Family Guy‘s Ricky Blitt, about a struggling writer, played by Brothers & Sisters‘ Eric Christian Olsen, torn between the love of his life and his BFF. Guess what, Milano will play the woman of dreams.

Continuing on ABC shows, Canned will have David Rosenthal as its show-runner, and Third Watch/24‘s Kim Raver is also set to star in Inside the Box.

Twin Peaks wannabe Happy Town brings in meanwhile other peeps with Angel/Dollhouse‘s Amy Acker, The Wire‘s Robert Wisdom, Gossip Girl‘s John Patrick Amedori and October Road’s Jay Paulson.

I may tune in for this one.
