Rounding out the cast as her brothers are Brandon Quinn (Entourage) as "Richie," Steve Byers (Smallville) as "Steve" and James Thomas (Covert Affairs) as "Donnie." Additionally, Marisa Ramirez (Spartacus: Gods of the Arena) stars as Abby's partner "Lina Flores," Daniel Kash (The Dresden Files) is her boss "Lieutenant Papadol," Andrew Walker (Maybe It's Me) plays Richie's partner "Brody," Mayko Nguyen (Lifetime's Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy) is Abby's neighbor "Mackie Phan" and Chris Johnson (The Vampire Diaries) appears as "Danny Mitchell," a lawyer and old friend of Abby's. |
