Brothered Up - D.L. Hughley Joins CBS Comedy Pilot in Co-Starring Role After Recasting
Hughley’s Calvin is described as a great cop who has always been a lone wolf but now is newly partnered with the optimistic Farooq, who has a gung-ho attitude. He replaces Romany Malco who was originally cast in the role but I hear the character turned out not to be a good fit for him. The decision was made after the pilot’s table read last week.

Real Life - Ryan Hansen to Guest Star as Male Lead with Potential to Recur in CBS Comedy Pilot
Rittenhouse, toted as a potential breakout star, was cast early, more than a month ago. As the search for an actor to play Drew went on, I hear an idea emerged to possibly reconfigure the series going forward, focusing on Nora and her dating life. I hear there will be no immediate changes, and the pilot will be filmed as originally written, with the discussion about the project’s creative direction going forward tabled until May. To keep options open, Hansen was cast as a guest star with a potential to recur. I hear there is a possibility for him to transition to a permanent position following a potential series order, subject of availability on his part and what the producers and the network ultimately decide about the long-time future of his character.

Christine Lahti Replaces Rita Wilson in FOX's Untitled Sheldon Turner Drama Pilot
Lahti will play Constance Hawthorne, the dignified but fierce head of UCI Board of Trustees. Lahti is a late addition to the pilot. She replaces Rita Wilson who was originally cast in the role. I hear Wilson’s exit came down to scheduling conflicts as she was not available for key production dates and could not attend the table read.
