A light day for casting news today. Characters are returning, some are leaving and new shows are getting their linups today.
Returning to a previous role we see Louis C.K. is an officer of the law yet again. Paz de la Huerta looks like she's not returning to Boardwalk Empire. And for some new shows we see Chi McBride coming to Golden Boy and Corey Stoll headed to the new Netflix original show House of Cards.
HuffPo says that Louis C.K. is coming back to Parks and Recreation to see Leslie Knope in Pawnee. In the episode Leslie and Ben see Officer Dave and it just gets awkward from there. Also in that episode Andy and the rest of Leslie's team are working on creating a theme song for her.
Paz de la Huerta will not be coming back to Boardwalk Empire according to TVLine. HBO has decided not to give the actress a season 3 contract option, which would mean that Lucy Danziger is officially whacked. The character went out and never came back in a final episode for Season 2.
Now in pilot news, THR reports that CBS has cast Pushing Daisies alum Chi McBride in Golden Boy. The drama follows the rise of a cop as he goes from officer to detective to police commissioner. McBride will be playing a detective by the name of Don Owen, one of the first partners to the up and coming officer who quickly becomes a hero. It was also announced recently that Richard Shepard will be directing the pilot from Nicholas Wootton.
Deadline reports that Corey Stoll, mostly known for his role in Law & Order: LA, will be coming to Netflix's first original series House Of Cards which has David Fincher set to direct and Kevin Spacey starring. Stoll would play Italian-American congressman Patrick Russo, a divorced loose-cannon with two kids. After being caught in an affair with his secretary, Spacey's Underwood intervenes to save him from scandal.
