CHAOS (CBS) - Carmen Ejogo ("Kidnapped") has booked the sole female role on the drama pilot, about a group of rogue CIA operatives who combat bureaucratic gridlock, rampant incompetence and political infighting. She's on board as seasoned CIA analyst Fay Carson, "a woman that exudes the rare combination of extreme confidence and great warmth - rendering her infinitely crush-worthy." Ejogo joins the previously cast Eric Close, Freddy Rodriguez, James Murray and Tim Blake Nelson. Director Brett Ratner and writer Tom Spezialy are behind the hour, which is set up at 20th Century Fox Television.

This is a drama?

This is a drama?

I'm looking at the cast and hoping it's an action drama. Please don't harsh my carefully constructed mellow.

What's a "rogue CIA"?

Another Numb3rs death knell: Rob Morrow has scored a pilot too.

Rob Morrow has joined the cast of ABC’s Jerry Bruckheimer-produced legal drama The Whole Truth.

The project, which also stars Nip/Tuck’s Joely Richardson, chronicles the building of a case from the perspective of both the defense and prosecution.

Vampire Diaries casting: Melinda Clarke! (Did we know this?) Playing a woman that Damon hooks up with while he's on his post-Katherine revelation binge.

She's so typical.

It's true. They didn't explain if she was a vampire when they described her aa an older woman.
