Alan Tudyk - ABC Sends Ross to ’Westside,’ Bowen to Philly

Saturday 26 February 2005, by Webmaster

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Familiar faces continue to snap up work in pilots for next season, with Charlotte Ross and Julie Bowen each landing roles in ABC shows in development.

Sofia Vergara, Alan Tudyk and Michael Landes have also signed on to projects at the Alphabet network, according to the Hollywood trade papers.

Ross, late of "NYPD Blue," has joined Ashley Scott in the cast of "Westside," a drama about a high-end real-estate firm in Los Angeles. The actress has also starred in Showtime’s TV-biz comedy "Beggars and Choosers" and was a regular on "Days of Our Lives" in the late 1980s, where she earned two Daytime Emmy nominations. The Colombian-born Vergara ("Soul Plane," "Chasing Papi"), meanwhile, has taken a part in ABC’s other real estate-themed pilot, the comedy "Hot Properties." She joins Nicole Sullivan ("The King of Queens") in the cast.

Former "Ed" star Bowen will all be part of an untitled comedy from writers Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont ("Can’t Hardly Wait"). The single-camera show is about a group of single folks living in Philadelphia and their dating lives.

Bowen, who will be featured in several episodes of ABC’s soon-to-premiere "Jake in Progress," will be joined in the cast by Tudyk ("Firefly," "Dodgeball") and Landes ("Special Unit 2," "Final Destination 2").
