*Clifton Powell has been cast as a regular in HBO's drama pilot "Last of the Ninth," described by the Hollywood Reporter as a "1970s gritty cop drama."
The story centers on Joe Dalton (Jonah Lotan), a young Vietnam veteran-tuned undercover cop, and veteran detective John Giglio (Ray Winstone). Michael Gaston will play the lieutenant in charge of the 9th Precinct where the show is set.
Lily Rabe ("What Just Happened") will play a plainclothes cop and a potential love interest for Dalton. Fredric Lehne ("Lost") will play a bright detective with a drinking problem. Michael Raymond-James ("True Blood") will play a macho narcotics detective. Powell also will play a detective.
