It's that time of the year. People are being cast in pilots left and right and some interesting stuff has been announced. At ABC, Christopher Titus (Titus) has landed one of the lead roles in an untitled project from Warner Bros. The show focuses on CEOs and also stars Dylan McDermott (The Practice) and Michael Vartan (Alias). McDermott and Vartan as CEOs is an easy sell. But Christopher Titus, Senior VP Harvard graduate? That's different, and something I look forward to checking out. Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) is set to star in ABC's Suspect. The show is a procedural that will solve crimes by tracking suspects through a lineup. She's joined by Eric Palladino (ER) and Kathleen Munroe (Beautiful People). The ABC track record for procedurals is less than impressive, but the addition of Guy Ritchie (Snatch) as director is intriguing enough to give this one a look.
Billy Baldwin and Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) will star in ABC's Money. Krause plays a lawyer that works for the rich and powerful Darling family. Baldwin plays Senator Patrick Darling, the head of the family, who will no doubt present a conundrum for Krause's idealistic lawyer.
In other casting news:
Madchen Amick (Gilmore Girls) will be the female lead on Hugh Jackman's Viva Laughlin, which we talked about here.
Eric Christian Olson (The Loop) stars in ABC's untitled DC comedy pilot. It's the story of a senator's aide that falls for the daughter of his boss' nemesis.
Leslie Hope (Runaway) stars as the wife of a cop with two kids beginning a law career in Fox's The Apostles.
David Alan Basche, Julian Sands (24) and David Norona (Six Feet Under) have been added to NBC's Lipstick Jungle. They join Kim Raver (The Nine) and Brooke Shields (Suddenly Susan), and Lindsay Price (Pepper Dennis) in a show about the trio of successful women.
Swoosie Kurtz (Huff) will star for ABC in Pushing Daisies. She'll play the aunt of a man who can touch the dead and bring them back to life.

That sounds like the most boring premise for a TV show ever. It can't possibly be as bad as what I have in my head at this moment.
