British actor Ben Aldridge has landed the male lead in the CW supernatural drama pilot Heavenly. The project, from CBS TV Studios and writer Richard Hatem, centers on Lily, a dedicated young female attorney, and a former angel, Dashiel Coffee (Aldridge), only recently turned human, who tackle cases at the attorney’s legal aid clinic – she saves clients’ butts while he saves their souls. Hatem is exec producing with showrunner Rob Doherty and Mimi Leder, who will direct. Aldridge, repped by Industry and UK’s Hamilton Hodell, most recently starred on the BBC series Lark Rise to Candleford.

Bill Sage (Precious) has landed a co-starring role on NBC’s drama pilot The Crossing. Written by Josh Brand and directed by Peter Horton, The Crossing is set in a Missouri town during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era and centers on Jason (Martin Henderson), a Civil War soldier who crosses the country and settles into a complicated town where he is welcomed as its savior. Sage will play the Grey Ghost aka the Colonel, a disfigured former Colonel in the Confederate Army with prematurely grey hair who lives nearby in a sumptuously appointed cave – his base of operations to wreak terror on the townsfolk.
