David Boreanaz

BONES (FOX) - T.J. Thyne ("24"), Eric Millegan ("Law & Order: Criminal Intent") and Jonathan Adams ("American Dreams") have all been confirmed as cast members of the drama pilot, about a team of scientists that assists with murder investigations. The trio plays Dr. Hodgins, Zack and Dr. Goodman respectively. They join the previously cast Emily Deschanel as Dr. Temperance Brennan, David Boreanaz as Special Agent Seeley Booth and Michaela Conlin as Angela.

In terms of character details, Dr. Daniel Goodman is described in the casting notice as: "The head of the Smithsonian’s Medico-Legal Lab, he’s a daunting man who is used to getting difficult people to do precisely what he wants. He considers Brennan one of his most valuable "assets," but she is a bit rankled when he loans her out to the FBI like a piece of property. When it comes to investigations, he doesn’t talk to anyone who has less than a doctorate. He has a towering intellect - but he and Brennan are evenly matched, as he soon realizes. Though neither one of them is aware of it consciously, Goodman is actually somewhat of a father-figure for Brennan, who lost her parents when she was 15 year old." No other character details were specified.
