Lina Esco (”Kingdom”) and Kenny Johnson (”Bates Motel”) will join Shemar Moore and Stephanie Sigman on CBS drama pilot ”S.W.A.T.”, says Deadline.
Esco will play Chris. Fueled by nerves, he is a skilled officer and exceedingly calm under pressure. She isn’t pleased with her leader’s sudden departure and a shift in power but doesn’t spend too much time focused on the negatives; the mission is the only thing that matters.
Johnson is Luca, the team’s expert driver and a skilled combat officer himself. He lives for the job and almost has too much fun behind the wheel. He’ll follow orders, no questions asked — a necessary skill when part of such an efficient team.
Justin Lin (“Fast & Furious”) directs the pilot.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Chavarria (“East Los High”) and Melia Kreiling (”Tyrant”) have joined the cast of “Behind Enemy Lines”, a drama pilot loosely based on the 2001 movie starring Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman. McG will direct the pilot for the FOX drama, wherein a group of U.S. soldiers find themselves trapped behind enemy lines. Via ‘Deadline‘
