Angel star in new buddy cop dramedy

Gorgeous Whedon-vet Amy Acker (“Angel”, “Dollhouse”) has joined the cast of the new USA network buddy cop dramedy “Common Law”, according to Deadline.

The show, which stars Michael Ealy (“Sleeper Cell”) and Warren Kole (“24″), centers on ”polar opposite LAPD homicide detectives Wes Mitchell (Kole) and Travis Marks (Ealy) whose constant bickering prompts their captain to send them to couples counseling”.

Acker, whose last TV gig was in the short-lived “Happy Town” for ABC, will play the therapist on the show. Film wise, she next appears in the Whedon produced “Cabin in the Woods”.
