Spoilage Lite - The Return
[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
With costumes.
Goes without saying.

Fran Kranz has been cast in a comedy pilot:
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS (NBC) - Fran Kranz ("Dollhouse") is the first to be cast in the comedy pilot, which "explores modern-day romance through the eyes of five friends, each looking for 'the one' but in the meantime settling for 'friends with benefits.'" He'll play one of the quintet, "a nerdy but cute hopeless romantic who is worth $12 million after selling an algorithm to Google." 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television are behind the hour, which David Dobkin is directing from a script by Michael Weber and Scott Neustadter.
Ooh:
LUCK (HBO) - Two-time Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman ("Kramer vs. Kramer," "Rain Man") is set to topline the drama pilot, which is "described as a provocative look at the worlds of horseracing and gambling told through a diverse group of characters surrounding a racetrack." He's on board as Chester "Ace" Bernstein, an ex-con who "teams with Gus Economou (Dennis Farina), his longtime chauffeur and muscle, to craft a complex plan involving the track." John Ortiz also stars in the hour, which Michael Mann is directing from a script by David Milch. The pair are also executive producing alongside Carolyn Strauss. Henry Bronchtein also serve as a co-executive producer. Production is set to begin this month for a potential January 2011 series order.

Julie Benz' possible new gig:
NO ORDINARY FAMILY (ABC) - Julie Benz ("Dexter") and Christina Chang ("24") have both joined the cast of the drama pilot, about a typical American family who develop special abilities. Benz will play the Powell clan's matriarch, Stephanie, "a gifted scientist who develops a power for superspeed." Chang then is set as Yvonne Cho, "a young police officer who works at the same precinct" as Stephanie's husband Jim (Michael Chiklis). Autumn Reeser and Romany Malco also star in the ABC Studios-based hour, which David Semel is helming off a script by Greg Berlanti and Jon Harmon Feldman.
Dana Delaney is going to guest on two episodes of Castle.
(Possibly the next two. . . and can you believe that they pre-empted Castle for a 3-HOUR episode of The Bachelor??!!!???)
