Fox Pilot ‘The List’ Tweaks Cast: Tasmin Egerton Switches Roles,
Hilarie Burton Joins
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: Fox and 20th TV have put the finishing touches on the cast
for drama pilot The List with some changes. Tamsin Egerton (Camelot),
originally cast as Maddie Soto, will now play Delilah, a role for
which Charity Wakefield had been originally set. One Tree Hill alumna
Hilarie Burton has now been cast as Maddie, replacing Egerton. The
List, from Paul Zbyszewski and Ruben Fleischer, centers on the intense
Deputy U.S. Marshal Soto (Michael Peña) who, when members of the
Federal Witness Security Program start getting killed, leads the hunt
for the person who stole “the list” – a file with the identities of
every member of the program.

As it has happened a number of times this season on pilots featuring
large ensembles, Wakefield was one of the first two actors cast in The
List a month ago when the lead was still called Dan Shaker and his
ex-wife Maddie Shaker before Peña came on board to star. Throughout
the casting process, characters change directions with every new
addition, and a month later, The List producers felt Egerton was
better suited for what the Delilah character had evolved into. Delilah
is described as a mysterious woman and a “conniving charmer,” a deadly
international operator who prides herself on never leaving a “client”
unsatisfied. Soto’s ex-wife Maddie is the mother of his two kids, an
attractive psychologist. Egerton is with WME and Anonymous; Burton,
who has been recurring on USA’s White Collar, is with Principal
Entertainment.

They've gone from a blonde and a brunette to two blondes. They might
have been better off keeping it a blonde and a brunette...


Ian (...though originally casting two British actresses in the same
*American* show was a bit much. :/ )

Let's hope that all of IN PLAIN SIGHT's relatives guest and get killed,
like POLICE SQUAD.

Way to bury the lead.

Is there really a rep named Anonymous??

I like Egerton, but Burton is probably a deal breaker.

And obviously she shouldn't be joining anything but The Skeleton Crew.

This was the plot of Skyfall.

When Hilarie Burton embraced Matt Bomer on the final episode of season 4,
she turned sideways to the camera. For some reason, she was wearing a
little black dress to be slimming, not flattering on a woman without a
figure. She sort of vanished.

I kind of like the actress. I'd like her a lot more if she ever ate.

Yeah she used to not worry about being ultra thin although she did start out
as a model before VJing on MTV.

When she was walking around wearing just his shirt, I was cringing.
This isn't exactly like when Barbara Eden did the same thing 45 years
and it was amazingly hot.
