Networks see flurry of pilot castings

Rupert Penry-Jones has been tapped as the lead in ABC's untitled Jerry Bruckheimer drama pilot, and Bulgarian-born Canadian Nina Dobrev has landed the lead in the CW's drama pilot "Vampire Diaries."

In other major pilot castings, Tony Hale is set to star in Fox's comedy "Cop House," Morena Baccarin will play a lead in the ABC drama "V" and Eliza Coupe has been tapped for a lead in ABC's comedy "No Heroics."

The untitled Bruckheimer project, from WBTV, is a mystery series about a group of amateur detectives led by a former cop (U.K.-born Penry-Jones), whose 11-year-old daughter was kidnapped three years ago with no leads.
