EXCLUSIVE: Laz Alonso (Breakout Kings) is set as the male lead opposite Meagan Good in NBC’s drama pilot Notorious, from Universal TV and BermanBraun. Written by Liz Heldens, Notorious is described as an opulent soap in which detective Joanna Locasto (Good) returns undercover to the wealthy and troubled Lawson family she grew up in — as the housekeeper’s daughter — to solve the murder of celebutante Vivian Lawson, who was once her closest friend. Alonzo, repped by ICM, Thruline and attorney Rick Genow, will play NYPD detective Will Sacovitch who recruits former flame Joanna to infiltrate the Lawson home, in the hope of finding evidence that Vivian was murdered. He segues to Notorious from A&E’s Breakout Kings.
Camille Guaty has landed the fourth lead in Fox’s single-camera comedy pilot Let It Go. The Sony TV-produced project, written by DJ Nash, is an ensemble comedy about a married couple (Zachary Levi, Kat Foster) his best friend (Joel David Moore) and her sister (Guaty), who loves to text and gossip, as they try to navigate, negotiate and sometimes manipulate society’s unspoken rules. Guaty is with APA, Impression Entertainment and attorney Brad Small.

Can Laz do both shows at the same time?
Uh…no…his character was killed off.
I guess you haven’t seen the season premiere of Breakout Kings?
It’s good to see Laz back on a real network.
A BLACK ON TV!!! MY EYES ARE BURNING! MY EYES ARE BURNING!! No!! Stop the insanity Hollywood!!
Laz is the man. Good for him!!!
He is no longer on Breakout Kings. His character was killed in the season premiere.
oh that’s totally different from ‘revenge’ cuz, one’s a detective!
Good for Laz: he busted his ass and it’s finally paying off.
Good to see Laz on show, keep it up
So Breakout Kings must be dead. Sucks, I like Jimmi Simpson on that show.
His character got killed off the show.
its showtime and laz is ready for that.
Laz Alonso’s character on Breakout Kings died so he is free to do the pilot.
So great to see Camille back on tv.
Can’t wait for the show
Congrats Camille!
Maricruz, maricruz!!!!!!!!!
Haha. Best thing about Prison Break: Maricruz, maricruz!!
I’m so proud to see Laz Alonso rising above A&E writing him off his own show, because of their stupid thinking that Laz is not a bankable star! Laz said it wasn’t his choice, it wasn’t the writers choice and he left it at that. After hearing that, I stopped watching Breakout kings. I’m so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves, I will definitely support this show!
I agree. I tried watching Breakout Kings after he was killed off, but I’ve since stopped. They needed his character. The dynamic among the characters is less interesting now. He was the leading man, level-headed presence on the show who kept everyone in line and focused. Now the show seems off a bit to me. I suspect they will bring in someone to fill his role in the group eventually.
Laz was great on Breakout Kings!
Brick, he died in this season opener so you still have Jimmi and the show…
Good for you, you just said what many of us are thinking
I’m thrilled Laz is in a new series. When he was kicked off Break Out Kings, I stopped watching. Laz is the man. Sexy and talened.
Oh wow!!! Scandal and now Notorious really two shows on Major Network TV with Leading Black women! I am speec……. oh wait it’s just a pilot never mind. YaY Scandal!!!!!!
Arts & Entertainment use to be actors from different walks of life who lend their gifts to the Arts & Entertain people from different walks of life. Breakout Kings with the dismissal of Mr. Alonzo, shows total disregard to people i.e. the minority of why A&E only serves one sector of the community due to the all mighty dollar!
Camille Guaty was wonderful on Las Vegas. Glad to see her back as a series regular.
I like Laz but this show has “cancelled after three episodes” written all over it.
I can t believe they killed him in Kings. The show lacks class now. Too many white people, how boring is that?
