ABC adds cast to 'Happy Town,' 'Box'

February 16, 2009 Geoff Stults has landed the lead in the ABC drama pilot "Happy Town," while Martin Henderson is the first actor to get "Inside the Box," ABC's drama pilot from "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" creator Shonda Rhimes. The "Twin Peaks"-esque "Happy Town" is set at a small town grappling with a murder -- its first crime in seven years -- and centers on Tommy (Stults), the town's newly appointed sheriff who has to solve the case. ABC's "Box" is set in a Washington network news bureau and centers on Catherine, an ambitious female news producer, and her colleagues pursuing "the story" at all costs while juggling their personal animosities and crises of conscience.
