Australia’s Sullivan Stapleton (“300 : Rise of an Empire”, “Cut Snake”) will star in NBC drama pilot “Blindspot”.
According to Deadline, Stapleton’s “the most heavily pursued actor and actress this broadcasting pilot season” for male leads, so it’s a bit of a coup for the Warner Bros/Greg Berlanti Prods offering.
Stapleton will join “Thor” alum Jaimie Alexander in the project.
The pilot, written by Martin Gero and directed by Mark Pellington, chronicles what happens when a beautiful woman, Jane Doe (Alexander), is found in the middle of Times Square in New York City with her memory wiped and no clue as to what the extensive tattoos on her body mean. Stapleton will play FBI special agent Kurt Weller, the leader of an elite FBI unit. He is called in from a mission to investigate the woman — who has his name written on her back.
Stapleton will next be seen in the final season of TV’s “Strike Back”.
