‘Rizzoli’ Adds Former ‘NCIS’ Star Sasha Alexander
I was a huge fan of the CBS military legal-crime procedural NCIS long before it became cool to like the show. So, you can imagine how thrilled I am to report that Sasha Alexander, an original regular on the series and a two-time guest star on Dark Blue, has just been cast in the second lead role in the TNT pilot Rizzoli.
Alexander is set to portray medical examiner Maura Isles, alongside Law & Order alumna Angie Harmon, who was just selected to play the lead character Detective Jane Rizzoli. As in the popular series of Rizzoli mystery novels by Tess Gerritsen, the women work together in Boston to solve homicides.

There’s a bit more recent news on the Southland-to-TNT front. Apparently, the network and the cop drama’s production studio Warner Bros. are currently working out the last kinks in a deal.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the agreement will have TNT buying 13 episodes: the seven that comprised the first season, which aired in April and May 2009 on NBC, and an additional six episodes already filmed for the ill-fated second season that never made it to the small screen on the show’s original home network.

October 27, 2009 by Chandra
Former ER star and current mega movie star George Clooney has successfully shopped a drama pilot called Delta Blues to TNT through his production company Smokehouse Pictures. The actor is also set to serve as co-executive producer.
Yet another in a long entertaining line of crime dramas, Delta Blues tells the tale of a competent yet quirky cop who lives with his mom in Memphis, Tennessee. When he’s not busy fighting crime, the guy actually has a second job wowing crowds as an Elvis impersonator. Now that’s what I call quirky, and I can only imagine what kinds of crimes he gets to investigate.
‘Rizzoli’ Has Its Star
Not too long ago, TNT announced the network’s plans to develop a pilot for an intriguing new crime drama called Rizzoli. Well, now that potential series has a star and her name is Angie Harmon.
Television fans may be familiar with the actress from her previous work on other crime dramas, including her most well-known role as dedicated, no-nonsense Assistant District Attorney Abbie Carmichael on NBC’s long-running procedural Law & Order, as well as her more recent short-lived turn on ABC’s female-centric Women’s Murder Club. Harmon clearly has what it takes to play a crimebuster convincingly.
