Agent Pride: A 50-something "charismatic and full of life" male who is "stubborn" and "no-nonsense" is the lead of the show, so he'll have to stack up to Harmon's Gibbs. We can see Benjamin Bratt, Titus Welliver, or Dylan McDermott as the tough guy in charge. At least Dylan McDermott has some experience doing a Louisiana accent, albeit a bad one.

Agent LaSalle: This "sexy," "devilish," "sweet and raw" 30-something male is Louisiana born and bred. They need a hottie in this role, so how about Ben McKenzie ("Southland"), Mike Colter ("The Good Wife"), or Shane West ("Nikita")? We also like wild-card idea Enver Gjokaj, who recently guest starred on "The Walking Dead." I have a feeling that they will cast a black actor in this role.

Agent Brody: This brilliant female in her 30s boasts a "Grace Kelly-like" demeanor along with an "Ivy League mind," and is "unpredictable, passionate, dedicated." A wide range of actresses could fit this mold, including Maggie Q ("Nikita"), Anna Torv ("Fringe"), or Autumn Reeser ("Last Resort"). Anna Torv.....yes please!

Dr. Wade: The "outspoken" 40-something female medic of the team is "full of contradictions" — beautiful, "eccentric," and a lover of college football. We immediately thought of Carrie-Anne Moss ("Vegas"), Jennifer Beals ("The L Word"), and Molly Parker ("Deadwood"). I think that Jennifer Beals would be a great choice.
