Former Knight Rider star Justin Bruening has joined another reboot for NBC, the network’s pilot Wonder Woman. The David E. Kelley-penned project stars Adrienne Palicki as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, a successful corporate executive working to balance the elements of her complicated life. Innovative-repped Bruening will play Steve Trevor, a leading man Diana can’t look past, an army vet who now works in the Justice department.
Desperate Housewives alum Mark Deklin has been added to ABC’s dramedy pilot Good Christian Bitches. It stars Leslie Bibb as Amanda, a mother of two and onetime “mean girl” in high school who returns home to Dallas humbled following a scandalous divorce, hoping to get a second chance at winning over her old classmates. Deklin will play a rugged, metrosexual cowboy married to one of the classmates, Cricket (Miriam Shor). Deklin, repped by APA and MBM, recently co-starred on Lone Star and is recurring on Hawaii Five-0 and Hot in Cleveland.
Dexter alum David Ramsey has been cast in the CW pilot Cooper & Stone, about Jenna Cooper (Alex Breckenridge) and Stone (Vanessa Ferlito), two smart female detectives on Chicago’s North Side who are best friends, equally adept at discussing fashion, music and pop culture as they are at solving homicides. Ramsey, repped by APA and Principato-Young, will play Mazzara, a veteran cop who has no patience for rookies but is tight with Stone. He most recently co-starred on NBC’s Outlaw.
Additionally, rapper-actor Xzibit has been cast in Fox’s medical drama pilot Weekends at Bellevue, and Johnny Pemberton (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), repped by Gersh and Prinicpato-Young, recently joined ABC’s comedy pilot Bad Mom.

Wonder Woman is going to be a huge disaster of epic proportions.
I agree Wholeheartedly, the only hope of a good Wonder Woman went out the door When Joss Whedon did.
Couldn’t agree more. The apex of stupidity.
I wonder why Bob Greenblatt picked up Wonder Woman. Was it for financial reasons?
That description of Cooper & Stone is hilariously terrible.
So true, it’s painfully stupid. And it just keeps getting repeated every time there’s another update on the show, we have to make it stop somehow.
Justin Breuning just sealed WW’s fate. Maybe it is just as well.
Poor guy Justin B 2 shows of epic failureness. Bad move.
So Brett Tucker isn’t Steve Trevor?They’ve already been filming the pilot 10 days, and they’ve only now cast Steve?
Cooper and Stone- who wants to join the “I never thought I’d see show worse than Whatever and Isles?”
Seriously, why bother even filming Cooper & Stone? Riley Smith, we know. The other three “stars”…? Uh….who? Anybody? Bueller?
Love Justin Bruening!!! So happy for him. Really awesome guy!
holy f***ing sh**…The guy from the KNIGHT RIDER remake got a job!? Did ANYONE see it? Or better yet…Did ANYONE see him in it!!!!!!? I hope he doesn’t read these comments because I’m going to completely trash him right now…You can’t coach him to ANY level of credibility as an actor. Casting, director, producers and exec’s must have left EVERY SINGLE STONE UNTURNED. He really should have been back on the bus to wherever he came from after that KNIGHT RIDER performance. This has to be the most infuriating casting of pilot season. makes me sick. Advice to David E. Kelly…You have a boat load of money, a GORGEOUS wife and up to this point a level of respect and admiration for past work. Please just ride off into the sunset now.
Johnny Pemberton is awesome – so good to see him cast in the ABC pilot!
“Two smart female detectives”….? I’m glad they did go with two DUMB female detectives for this show.
I loves me some mark Deklin
I will watch WW solely for adrienne palicki. So will many other men. Great casting job.
I GREW UP WATCHING WONDER WOMAN I DONT CARE WHO PLAY THE PART IN IT JUST GO ON PUT IT ONTHE AIR. FOR 2011
