By Nellie Andreeva
Kiele Sanchez and Carlos Gomez have landed co-starring roles on A&E's
drama pilot "Sugarloaf."
The project, from Fox TV Studios, centers on Jim Longworth (Matt
Passmore), a Chicago cop who gets kicked off the force after being
shot by his ex-captain, who wrongfully accused him of having an affair
with his wife. After receiving a payout, Jim, an observant detective
with a sly sense of humor, moves to a small Florida town and joins the
state police.
Sanchez will play Jim's romantic interest, Callie, a nurse who
moonlights at a pizza place to afford medical school. Uriah Shelton
has been cast as Callie's 12-year son, whom she is raising alone, with
her husband in prison.
