Thanks to Bruce_F for the heads up.
Producers are currently looking for actors to play two new series regular roles. In keeping with the show's Toronto roots, they're interested in casting only Canadian actors. Way to keep it authentic, guys!
First up, they're looking for a "very attractive" (duh) 30-35-year-old actress to play Marlo, a new Senior training uniformed officer in the division. She's been off the street for a while after working SWAT, but she's burnt out on that and ready to return to her roots. She's described as "calm and capable under fire, a great shot and tough strategist but very likable, good sense of humour and charming in her personal life."
Additionally, they're bringing in another rookie -- which makes sense, as our original team of rookies are now more experienced. Chloe is in her early twenties, and she's described as "a wild-card, unpredictable, a little crazy in a good way." Uh oh. There's a twist, too -- her godfather is Frank (Lyriq Bent). He used to be her father's partner, so she now looks to him as a mentor figure in her life. Expect Chloe to be introduced in the season's second episode

I'd like to see Victoria Prat as Marlo, even though she is 41.
ReplyDeleteVictoria Pratt would be great! She doesn't look her age so she could easily play woman 10 years younger that she is.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be cool to see someone close to Frank, especially in a role where he's potentially another father figure - or even an uncle like Swarek was to Oliver's daughter - now that he's got a baby of his own on the way.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad Rookie Blue had previously cast Camille Sullivan for a role on the show because "Marlo" would have been a good fit for her. Maybe Tricia Helfer or Mia Kirshner?
