He'll play Charles, "a bright but nerdy youth, the "internet whiz kid" of Morristown. Charles has been hired as an intern/assistant for new team sportscaster, Jim Brockmire.

Said ensemble includes Sarah Michelle Gellar, Taylor John Smith, Kate Levering, Samantha Logan, Sophina Brown, Coby Bell and Bryce Cass. (Deadline.com)
FIRST WIVES CLUB, THE (TV Land) - Vanessa Lachey ("Truth Be Told") has booked a lead role on the comedy pilot, a reboot of the 1996 feature. She'll play Sasha, "a driven and successful chef in San Francisco. She has it all - a hot restaurant and a great girlfriend who she plans to marry. But when she reconnects with her old friends after the death of their college roommate, she realizes she may not be as ready to settle down as she thought." (Deadline.com)
FLASH, THE (The CW) - Tom Felton ("Murder in the First") has joined the cast on the show's third season as Julian Dorn, "a fellow CSI at the Central City Police Department who suspects there's more to Barry Allen than just his good guy reputation." (TVLine.com)

SHOOTER (USA) - William Fichtner will guest on the upcoming original as Rathford O'Brien, "a former marine who is the only expert marksman alive that Swagger (Ryan Phillippe) respects, and perhaps the only one who might be as good as him. Since retiring from the Marines, Rathford has led a reclusive life, until Swagger seeks out his former mentor. But breaking through to the grizzled and guarded veteran will not be easy." (EW.com)
YOUNGER (TV Land) - India de Beaufort ("Blood & Oil") is the latest to book a role on the new season. She'll play Radha, "an Indian woman who begins dating Charles (Peter Hermann)." (Deadline.com)
