Nominative determinism at work: B.A.G., Fox

Brian Austin Green, once and forever David Silver, has been added to the cast of the CW pilot “Body Politic” (joining Minka Kelly).  Hey look, a picture of him with Megan Fox.

Though the “Beverly Hills 90210″ vet is currently a regular on FOX’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” The CW confirms that Brian Austin Green has just secured a role in their “Body Politic” project.

The series, if green lit, will follow young government staffers living and working in Washington, D.C. Green will play Lucky, a D.C. insider who knows everyone in town.

Brian Austin Green playing a character named “Lucky.”  Yep, someone in Hollywood has a sense of humor.

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Minka Kelly and Mischa Barton, representing 100% of Hollywood’s “M i – - a” starlets, have both been cast in new CW series slated for next fall.

Kelly, whose “Friday Night Lights” character is off to college next season, will play the lead in the CW’s “Body Politic,” about a young woman who moves to D.C. to work for her father (the Attorney General) after her mother dies.  Prediction: everyone on the show will be thirty times better-looking than anyone who actually works in politics.

Barton, the “O.C.” alum who has barely worked since her character was killed off at the end of Season 3 (probably because she’s a terrible actress), was rumored to be joining the cast of the new “Melrose Place.”  Instead, she’ll star in “A Beautiful Life,” about “a group of models living together in a co-ed residence in New York.” [THR]

Golly, a supermodel and a woman who gets a job because her dad is the Attorney General.  TV executives are so good at making characters I can really identify with!  We’re practically the same people!
