Cassidy, whose series credits include CW's Supernatural and CBS' Harper's Island, was also offered the CW pilot Heavenly this season.

Exclusive: Michael Rosenbaum Confirmed for Full-Time Sitcom Gig

And now, some news that is breaking in more ways than one: TVLine has confirmed that TV viewers will be getting a double helping of Michael Rosenbaum this spring, now that the actor — on top of his Smallville encore — has been booked for all seven episodes of the new Fox comedy Breaking In.

Rosenbaum cameos in the comedy’s pilot as Dutch, the “enterprising” (he peddles clean urine) boyfriend of Odette Yustman’s sexy safecracker. Producers were so pleased with the performance — as well as the character’s potential — that they set out to include him in the entire freshman run of episodes, which kicks off Wednesday, April 6

Production on the six remaining episodes began Monday in Los Angeles.

Breaking In stars Christian Slater as Oz, the head of a team of counter-security experts. Bret Harrison (Reaper) plays a new recruit who immediately is attracted to Yustman’s Melanie. As such, “We’re thinking about bringing Dutch into the office and making him a part of the team, and maybe play out that triangle a little bit,” exec producer Doug Robinson told me in January.

Also on the romantic front: Alyssa Milano (Charmed) appears in Episode 2 as Oz’s ex-wife, a potentially recurring role.
Yes, but what about Rosie’s return to Smallville for the two-hour series finale airing May 13? Fret not, superfriends: Rosenbaum wrapped his scenes last week in Vancouver, so you’ll get your long-awaited Lex appeal as planned.

Kyle Bornheimer To Star In Fox's Comedy Pilot 'Council Of Dads

EXCLUSIVE: The always in-demand Kyle Bornheimer is set to co-star in Peter Tolan's comedy pilot for Fox Council of Dads. Inspired by Bruce Feiler's non-fiction book, the pilot, which is being directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, tells the story of Michael who, just before he dies, enlists five of his guy friends from all aspects of his life to become a “council of dads” to his two young children. Bornheimer will play the "fun dad" on the council, a childhood friend of Michael's who is loud and larger than life, funny though sometimes inappropriate. On the Sony TV-produced pilot, Bornheimer joins previously cast Diane Farr, Patrick Breen and Ken Howard.

Bornheimer fielded several pilot offers before choosing to go with Council. For him, the Fox pilot is in second position to NBC's softly-rated midseason series Perfect Couples, on which he co-stars. This is the second consecutive year, in which Bornheimer has booked a pilot in second position to a midseason series. Last year, he was heavily pursued for 4 pilots before the delayed launch of his midseason ABC comedy Romantically Challenged. He eventually settled on the lead role in the Bays/Thomas CBS comedy pilot. When that pilot didn't go to series, Bornheimer was quickly ast in a lead role on NBC's newly picked-up comedy Perfect Couples, replacing Kyle Howard, who had to pull out because of his obligation to TBS' My Boys. Bornheimer, repped by CAA and Flutie Entertainment, got his big break when he was cast as the male lead in the 2008 CBS comedy Worst Week.

Martin Henderson, Sarah Paulson & Lauren Ambrose Tapped As The Leads Of 3 Pilots

Three high-profile pilots just landed their leads: Martin Henderson will headline NBC's drama The Crossing, Sarah Paulson will star in NBC's Kari Lizer comedy and Lauren Ambrose will topline Fox's drama Weekends at Bellevue.

Written by Josh Brand and directed by Peter Horton, The Crossing is set in a Missouri town during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era and centers on Jason (Henderson), a Civil War soldier who crosses the country and settles into a complicated town where he is welcomed as its savior - whether he likes it or not. The casting is in second position to Henderson's current series, ABC's softly-rated midseason drama Off the Map. The Crossing's female lead is Henderson's Off the Map co-star Rachelle Lefevre who is also in second position to the ABC medical drama, so NBC is making a big gamble that Off the Map won't come back for a second season.

The untitled Kari Lizer multicamera comedy, from Warner Bros. TV, is a workplace comedy about a relationship-challenged woman (Paulson) who, with the help of her co-workers, guides people through unexpected career transitions and downsizings. The casting of Paulson lifts the contingency on the project. ICM-repped Paulson was the female lead on NBC's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and ABC's Cupid. Martha Marcy May Marlene, in which she stars, was recently picked up by Fox Searchlight. Lizer is with Scott Schwartz.

Based on Dr. Julie Holland's memoir, Weekends at Bellevue centers on Ellie (Ambrose), the psychiatrist in charge of the weekend shift of Bellevue Hospital psychiatric unit. The project hails from former ER writer-producer Lisa Zwerling, BermanBraun and UMS. Six Feet Under alum Ambrose, repped by UTA and Kipperman Management, co-stars on the upcoming season of Torchwood on Starz.

Angela Bassett To Star In ABC Pilot 'Identity'

Angela Bassett is set as a lead in ABC's drama pilot Identity. The project, from ABC Studios, Mark Gordon Co. and writer John Glenn, is an action procedural based on a British  format, which centers on an elite police unit formed to combat the explosion of identity-related crime. Bassett will play Martha, the Special Agent in charge of the FBI's new Identity Crimes Unit. Bronx-tough Vassar graduate from Greenwich, Martha is determined to make a go of this division, using sophisticated technology combined with good old fashioned investigative methods. The casting extends Bassett's relationship with ABC, ABC Studios and producer Mark Gordon. Earlier this pilot season, she was attached to ABC's drama project One Police Plaza, which was developed for her through ABC Studios and studio-based Mark Gordon Co. In it, she was slated to play another top New York law enforcement officer, the city's first female commissioner. Bassett, repped by Gersh and Lighthouse, will next be seen in Jumping the Broom and Green Lantern. On TV, she most recently co-starred on the final season of ER.

The project, from CBS TV Studios and writer Richard Hatem, centers on Lily, a dedicated young female attorney, and a former angel, Dashiel Coffee (Aldridge), only recently turned human, who tackle cases at the attorney's legal aid clinic - she saves clients' butts while he saves their souls. Hatem is exec producing with showrunner Rob Doherty and Mimi Leder, who will direct. Aldridge, repped by Industry and UK's Hamilton Hodell, most recently starred on the BBC series Lark Rise to Candleford.

Bill Sage (Precious) has landed a co-starring role on NBC's drama pilot The Crossing. Written by Josh Brand and directed by Peter Horton, The Crossing is set in a Missouri town during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era and centers on Jason (Martin Henderson), a Civil War soldier who crosses the country and settles into a complicated town where he is welcomed as its savior. Sage will play the Grey Ghost aka the Colonel, a disfigured former Colonel in the Confederate Army with prematurely grey hair who lives nearby in a sumptuously appointed cave - his base of operations to wreak terror on the townsfolk.

USA To Do Movie Starring Mark Harmon

USA Network has given the green light to Prey, a two-hour movie starring Mark Harmon, as the cable network continues to expand its original programming portfolio beyond hourlong scripted series.

The film is based on the best-selling Prey series of novels by John Sandford. Harmon will play the central character in the books, Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Lucas Davenport. The movie is based on the 10th of the 20 novels in the series, Certain Prey, in which Davenport goes against a lethal hit woman and a ferociously cunning killer determined to hunt him down. Chris Gerolmo (Citizen X) penned the script for the movie, which is slated to begin production in May. Jaffe-Braunstein Films is producing, with Michael Jaffe, Howard Braunstein and Harmon executive producing. "Mark Harmon could read the phone book and we'd probably want to put it on the air!" USA's president original programming Jeff Wachtel quipped.

While Prey is being done as a one-off, with USA acquiring the rights of all 20 books, it could potentially turn into a movie franchise in the mold of Tom Selleck's Jesse Stone series of films on CBS. Prey is the second original movie USA has greenlighted in the past six months after largely staying away from the genre for the past five years. The other movie, the  Burn Notice prequel Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, premieres on April 17. Both Sam Axe and Prey are extension of signature USA franchises: its flagship series, Burn Notice, and its top off-network series, NCIS, which stars Harmon. But the movies are also part of USA's new strategy of broadening its offerings with reality, half-hour comedy, movies and mini-series.
