Some projects just move fast. Less than a month ago it was reported that ABC Family had lined up to make a series based on Javier Grillo-Marxuach's 'Middleman' comic from Viper Comics. Today, the Hollywood Reporter says that the primaries in the show have been cast.
Matt Keeslar and Natalie Morales have been cast in the roles of The Middleman and Wendy Watson respectively. Mary Pat Gleason has also been cast in the production.
Here's the description of the show:
"Middleman" centers on Wendy Watson (Morales), a twentysomething struggling artist recruited by a secret agency to fight comic book-type villains. Keeslar will play the title character, a sci-fi superhero who serves as her guide. Gleason will play Ida, the robotic gatekeeper and veteran assistant to Keeslar.
