The ‘Wonder Woman’ cast has added yet another awesome actor to its ranks: Carey Elwes, otherwise known as Westley from ‘The Princess Bride.’
He’ll play Henry Detmer, the acting CEO of Themyscira Industries and an uncle-like figure to Adrianne Palicki’s Diana Prince who could potentially turn into a love interest, according to Deadline.
Meanwhile, TV Line reports that Becki Newton, one of pilot season’s most sought-after stars, has signed on for the Fox comedy pilot formerly known as ‘Home Grown.’ The casting is in second position to her as-yet-unaired NBC series, ‘Love Bites.’
Jim Cavizel, also known as Mel Gibson’s Jesus in ‘The Passion of the Christ,’ has booked the leading role in the J.J. Abrams/Jonah Nolan pilot ‘Person of Interest,’ according to Vulture. He joins the already-cast Taraji P. Henson and Michael Emerson.
