Hart Hanson Writing Myron Bolitar Pilot

[Gerald So]

From Harlan Coben's newsletter:

Hart Hanson, the creator and executive producer of the TV series BONES, is writing a pilot for Twentieth Century Fox studios and Fox network to bring Myron and the gang to a TV near you. The working title -- and this could very easily change -- is PROMISES AND LIES. Okay so let's hear your casting suggestions for Myron, Win and Esperanza. Keep in mind that this is a TV series, not a movie, so if you're thinking, say, George Clooney or Vince Vaughn, you're probably wasting your time. That's all the details I know now. As I know more, you'll know more. You can email your suggestions to casting (at) harlancoben (dot) com. Yes, I will try to read them all, though please don’t expect replies. Thanks!

Nice to hear about this. Coben's writing is so strong, they could probably do with relative unknowns (God knows there's enough starving actors out there). Though, the guy from that old sitcom SPORTS NIGHT might work as Win -- not Peter Krausse, who wound up on SIX FEET UNDER, but his anchor partner.

Here are some possibilities, though they'll probably go with unknowns:

For Myron, Eddie McClintock, who played quirky, basketball-playing Special Agent Tim "Sully" Sullivan on BONES. Or Marc Blucas: best known as Riley Finn on BUFFY, he played shooting guard/small forward for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons from 1990-94, starting alongside Tim Duncan.

For Esperanza, Marisol Nichols, who played Nadia Yassir on 24 last season. Or Constance Zimmer, who played Dana Gordon on ENTOURAGE and Claire Simms on BOSTON LEGAL.

For Win, Brian Krause, Leo Wyatt on CHARMED.
