Flash Forward casting
by Rob - December 2nd, 2008.Filed under: FlashForward.
We have our first actors cast for the TV series pilot based on my novel Flash Forward.
Two-time Tony Award-nominee Courtney B. Vance is best known for his six seasons as assistant district attorney Ron Carver on NBC’s Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
And my wife Carolyn is over the moon, because Jack Davenport, whom she has had a big crush on since he starred as Steve in the British sitcom Coupling, is playing Lloyd Simcoe. Jack played Norrington in three Pirates of the Carribean movies, and recently starred in CBS’s Swingtown.
The coverage from The Hollywood Reporter (“Vance, Davenport cast in ABC pilot: ‘Flash Forward’ is based on Sawyer’s sci-fi novel”) is here.
Filming of the pilot is scheduled to begin in nine weeks in Los Angeles, on February 19, 2009. More about the pilot is here.
