Three join TNT's 'Delta Blues' pilot

Sam Hennings, Robyn Lively and Leonard Howze have signed to appear in forthcoming TNT pilot Delta Blues, produced by George Clooney.

The actors join Jason Lee, who has been cast in the lead role of Dwight Hendricks, a Memphis police officer who lives with his mother and moonlights as an Elvis impersonator, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Hennings will play Whitehead, Dwight's partner on the police force. Lively will take on the role of Charlene, Dwight's ex-wife, and Howze is to portray a detective who works with Dwight and Whitehead.

Clark Johnson, whose directing credits include The Shield and The Wire, will helm the pilot from a script by Liz M. Garcia and Joshua Harto.
