Aussie actor Alex O’Loughlin has signed a talent deal with CBS, following the demise of the drama series, Moonlight.
He will star in a new series project developed by producer Mark Gordon, whose ABC Studio-based company is behind such series as Grey’s Anatomy, Army Wives and Criminal Minds.
O’Loughlin rose to prominence in the US as vampire PI Mick St. John on CBS’ Moonlight. He helped attract a passionate fan base to the series, which was cancelled in May.
At the Television Critics Assn. press tour in July, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler credited the show’s intense fan appeal to him.
O’Loughlin previously appeared in TEN’s Mary Bryant miniseries and the film Oyster Farmer.
Under the new deal with CBS, he also will be able to pitch theatrical projects to CBS Films.
