Rispoli, Kind set for pilots
Castings continue as season revs up
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER
"The Sopranos" alum Michael Rispoli is close to joining the cast of the ABC laffer pilot "The Furst Family," while Richard Kind ("Spin City") will star in CBS' untitled Aisha Tyler laffer, and the WB has added several new names to its "Dark Shadows" remake.
...
As for "Dark Shadows," Martin Donovan, who most recently starred in USA's adaptation of the miniseries "Traffic," is onboard as Roger Collins.
Donovan's feature credits include "Insomnia" and "The Opposite of Sex." On TV, he starred in Fox's "Pasadena" and FX's "RFK."
Also joining the "Dark Shadows" cast are Jessica Chastain ("ER") as Carolyn Stoddard, Matt Czuchry ("Jake 2.0") as Willie Loomis and Alexander Gould ("Finding Nemo") as David Collins.
Frog and Warner Bros. TV execs are still looking for an actor to cast in the lead role of Barnabas Collins. Project, from Mark Verheiden, John Wells and Dan Curtis is based on the classic '60s gothic soap opera about vampires.[/b]
