Sam Waterston, Campbell Scott and Chris Chalk are set to appear as guest stars in NBC’s upcoming drama “Line Of Fire,” joining a cast anchored by Peter Krause and Hope Davis as a family of law enforcement agents.
NBC has announced that Sam Waterston, Campbell Scott and Chris Chalk will guest star in its upcoming drama series “Line Of Fire,” according to Deadline. The casting adds three widely known performers, each associated with major screen and television projects, to the new NBC drama’s lineup ahead of its scheduled release.
“Line Of Fire” is described as following a family of law enforcement agents, led by Mike and Jane, with Peter Krause cast as Mike and Hope Davis cast as Jane. The series concept centers on how a family unit operates inside law enforcement, according to the show’s description in the casting announcement.
Sam Waterston, whose credits include “Law & Order” and “Grace and Frankie,” is among the guest stars named for the series. Deadline did not specify the character Waterston would play in the announced guest-starring appearances.
Campbell Scott, known for roles including “Furious” and “Royal Pains,” is also set to guest star. As with the other new additions, Deadline did not provide additional character or storyline details tied to Scott’s appearance in the program.
Chris Chalk, who has appeared in productions including “It: Welcome to Derry” and “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans,” is the third guest star named in the announcement. Deadline similarly did not include further information about Chalk’s specific role or the circumstances of his character’s entry into the series.
Deadline’s report presents the three guest-starring roles as part of NBC’s continuing efforts to build out the cast for “Line Of Fire,” with the ensemble led by Krause and Davis and supported by established actors for guest arcs. Guest casting announcements are typically used to broaden audience awareness and expand the range of performances and plotlines in a new network series.
No premiere date, episode count, or production schedule details were included in the announcement. Viewers will likely learn more about each guest star’s part in the series as NBC and the show’s production team release additional casting information and promotional materials.
