The NiceGirlsTV CASTING COUCH

This week’s casting couch features the following guest stars:

Barry Watson

Actor Barry Watson (7th Heaven) will have a recurring role on Hart of Dixie this coming April, playing Davis Polk, a southern gentleman who is handsome, quick-witted, and a little bit shy. Hart of Dixie will be back on March 21, its new night (Fridays), on The CW.

Annie Wershing

Actress Annie Wersching (24 and Heroes) will have a recurring role on the upcoming CBS summer series Extant that will star Halle Berry as Molly Watts, an astronaut trying to reconnect with her family after returning from a year in outer space. Her mystifying experiences in space lead to events that will no less than change the course of human history. Wersching will play Femi Dodd, a member of the Yasumoto Corporation board who endeavors to insure that in our race toward a technologically advanced future, we don’t leave our humanity behind. Her position makes her a powerful adversary to Molly’s husband John (Goran Visnjic from ER), a developer of humanoid robot prototypes. Extant will debut on CBS on July 2.

JoAnna Garcia-Swisher

Actress JoAnna Garcia Swisher (Once Upon a Time and Privileged) has landed one of the lead roles in the straight-to-series adaptation of the Lily Koppel 2013 best-selling book Astronaut Wives Club that will air on ABC. The series will follow a group of women who support their star-bound husbands during the 1960s space race. Swisher will play Betty, the wife of one of the original astronauts, who has a down-home appeal, which endears her to the public. Astronaut Wives Club will, most likely, air this fall on ABC.

Michelle Fairley

Actress Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones and Suits) has joined the FOX event series 24: Live Another Day, taking over the role that was to be played by Judy Davis, who had to bow out of the projection due to personal matters. Fairley will play Margot, a British national and the widow of a notorious terrorist. 24: Live Another Day will debut on FOX on May 5 at 9 PM.

Emily Rose

Actress Emily Rose (Haven) will have a recurring role on the USA Network drama Graceland, playing Jessica Foster, one of Mike’s (series lead Aaron Tveit) superiors in Washington, D.C., but also his ally. Graceland will return for its second season on the USA Network later this year.

Peter Coyote

Veteran actor Peter Coyote (currently recurring on Intelligence) will guest star in season 3 of the TNT drama Perception, which is slated for this coming summer. He will play James Alan Pierce, dad of Daniel Pierce (series lead Eric McCormack), who comes to town with some stunning news. The second half of Perception‘s current, second season will be back on TNT starting on February 25.
