LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Emmy winner Mandy Patinkin leads the cast of ABC’s drama pilot "Quantico," which also includes Shemar Moore and Lola Glaudini.

Meanwhile, Ever Carradine has been cast in another ABC drama pilot, "Commander in Chief."

In other pilot casting news, "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Daniel Cosgrove and Constance Zimmer (NBC’s "Good Morning Miami") have joined the ABC drama "In Justice," "Less Than Perfect" co-star Zachary Levi has been tapped to star in the CBS comedy "Three," and D.B. Woodside and Elize Du Toit have joined Ivan Sergei in UPN’s drama pilot "Triangle."

"Quantico," from Touchstone TV, is a suspense thriller that centers on the workings of the FBI (news - web sites) Behavioral Analysis Unit.

Patinkin will play the leader of the team, with Moore, Glaudini and Matthew Gubler playing members of the squad.

Patinkin, who won an Emmy in 1995 for his role on CBS’ "Chicago Hope," most recently co-starred in Showtime’s "Dead Like Me."

Moore, recently seen in the CBS telefilm "Reversible Errors," next co-stars in the upcoming big-screen feature "Diary of a Mad Black Woman."

Glaudini’s series credits include ABC’s "NYPD Blue" and CBS’ "The Handler."

The two-hour pilot "Commander in Chief," from Touchstone TV, centers on the first female U.S. president. Carradine will play the president’s press secretary. The project is still contingent on casting the lead.

Carradine’s series credits include FX’s "Lucky" and ABC’s "Once and Again."

"In Justice," from Touchstone TV, revolves around a group of impassioned lawyers who aid the wrongly convicted. Cosgrove and Zimmer are members of the ensemble cast.

"Three," from Paramount Network Television, revolves around a happily married couple and their recently divorced male friend (Levi).

For Levi, the project is in second position to ABC’s "Less Than Perfect," now in its third season.

"Triangle," from Paramount Network TV and Shore View Entertainment, centers on a young doctor (Sergei) who moves to the Caribbean after his wife disappears during their honeymoon there. Woodside, whose series credits include "24" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," will play a police captain, and Du Toit will play a bartender.
