Recurring parts for Lourdes Benedicto, C.S. Lee on new shows

Actors who guest-starred in two of this fall's pilots -- "Cashmere Mafia" and "Chuck" -- are getting a little more job security.

Lourdes Benedicto, a regular on "The Nine" last season, is staying at ABC for a recurring part on "Cashmere Mafia," according to The Hollywood Reporter. At NBC's "Chuck," meanwhile, C.S. Lee will recur.

Benedicto guest-starred in the "Mafia" pilot, which centers on four women with high-powered careers. Benedicto will play a possible love interest for one of them, Bonnie Somerville's cosmetics executive. The show is scheduled to premiere in November.

In addition to "The Nine," Benedicto has also appeared on "24," "Dawson's Creek" and "NYPD Blue."

On "Chuck," Lee plays Harry Tang, Chuck's (Zachary Levi) nemesis at the Buy More store where both men work. Lee also co-stars on Showtime's "Dexter."
