SIX (History/A+E; W: David Broyles & William Broyles; D: Lesli Linka Glatter) - Walton Goggins ("Justified") has signed onto the drama series, which follows a brotherhood of modern American warriors, Navy SEAL Team Six, the best of the best, whose 2014 mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in Afghanistan goes awry when they uncover a U.S. citizen working with the terrorists. He'll play Rip Taggart, "the one-time leader of the SEAL Team Six squad who now patrols an African village to protect its residents from Boko Haram." The actor succeeds Joe Manganiello, who bowed out last week over a health issue despite filming nearly two episodes. (Deadline.com)
