HitFix Staff
<p> </p>
<p>Jason Clarke has landed the lead in an untitled CBS legal pilot.</p>
<p>According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clarke will topline the ensemble of The Eye's drama set at a Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office.</p>
<p>Clarke will play the section chief overseeing a team of four lawyers and a fleet of paralegals. </p>
<p>Following television's ongoing casting trend, CBS seems to be looking abroad for casting, with Aussie Clarke joining Lennie James in the pilot. </p>
<p>Clarke toplines Showtime's "Brotherhood." His feature credits include "Death Race" and the upcoming "Public Enemies."</p>
<p>Using Clarke as the "big name," The Hollywood Reporter had an assortment of smaller casting pieces in the same story.</p>
<p>For example, Jonathan Sadowski, Kevin Simpson, Noureen Dewulf and Ricky Mabe have been cast in "Two Dollar Beer," a FOX comedy about twentysomethings who get together to drink beer and talk. </p>
<p>Ah, FOX comedies.</p>
<p>And FOX's drama about past-life investigators has added Nick Bishop, Kelli Giddish and Ravi Patel to its cast. </p>
