Angela Bassett To Play Director Of The CIA On TV Series

Angela Bassett To Play Director Of The CIA On TV Series Angela Bassett and Nip/Tuck alum Julian McMahon are in final negotiations to co-star in Fox’s untitled Karyn Usher drama pilot. Written by Usher and directed by Brett Ratner, the project centers on Jane Forsythe (Saxon Sharbino), the orphaned 14-year-old daughter of a CIA operative who encounters a mysterious rogue agent (McMahon) who serves as her surrogate father and professional mentor in the spy world. Bassett will play the calculating and political director of the CIA who takes Jane under her wing. Bassett’s last appearance on a TV series was when she played Dr. Cate Banfield on ER in 2009. Bassett just finished a critically praised run on Broadway in The Mountaintop opposite Samuel L. Jackson. For McMahon, this is the first TV role since his seven-year stint on FX’s Nip/Tuck. The Karyn Usher pilot is produced by 20th Century Fox TV and 21 Laps/Adelstein.
