TORONTO -- Stuart Margolin,
Ona Grauer, Theresa Joy and Toby Proctor have joined the cast of "The
Bridge," the CBS and CTV cop drama shooting in Toronto.
Margolin, who plays the father of lead character Frank Leo (Aaron
Douglas), also
will direct an episode of the police procedural from Brass Prods., 990
Multimedia Entertainment and E1 Entertainment.
The other new castings will see Grauer play a city prosecutor and Joy
tackle the role of a feisty police constable while Inga Cadranel and
Genadijs Dolganovs will play detectives.
In February, CBS agreed to co-finance 11 one-hour episodes of the Canadian
procedural drama as an international co-production with CTV after it found
success with another of the Canadian broadcaster's cop dramas,
"Flashpoint."
Written and executive produced by Alan Di Fiore, "The Bridge" is the
brainchild of Craig Bromell, a former Toronto police officer who partnered
with Di Fiore to develop the Canadian drama at CTV. |
