'Galactica' Guy Is 'Man of Your Dreams'
Michael Trucco to star in NBC pilot
Trucco has taken the lead role in "Man of Your Dreams," a pilot about a cad who puts his skills to use in helping women find romance. His signing lifts a cast contingency from the project.
Also at NBC, Sydney Tamiia Poitier has joined the cast of the "Knight Rider" remake, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Man of Your Dreams" comes from writer Jay Lacopo and O'Brien's production company, Conaco. The two will serve as executive producers with Jeff Ross and David Kissinger. The pilot is slated to go into production soon after the writers' strike ends, whenever that may be. In the meantime Trucco will continue working on the final season of "Battlestar Galactica," which is scheduled to premiere in April.
Trucco does have some comedy credits on his resume, having guest-starred on "Joey" and "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch." His credits also include "One Tree Hill" and the feature film "Next."
On "Knight Rider," a two-hour movie/backdoor pilot set for later this season, Poitier will play an FBI agent. Her character is suspicious of Mike Tracer (Justin Bruening), the son of original crime-fighting supercar driver Michael Knight who's following in his dad's footsteps.
Poitier appeared in "Grindhouse" earlier this year and has had recurring parts on "Veronica Mars" and "Joan of Arcadia."
