Annie Wersching Joins Dallas

Former 24 actress Annie Wersching is to join the cast of Dallas for the second season of TNT’s revival of the classic sex and scandal drama.
TV Line report that Wersching will play a recurring character on the show. Wersching’s character is described as ‘an ambitious and sexy transportation commissioner’ who gets mixed up with John Ross (Josh Henderson) and Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe).
Wersching is the latest new addition announced for the second season. Emma Bell and Judith Light have already been revealed as joining the cast and last week it was revealed that Ted Shackelford and Joan Van Ark will reprise their roles of husband-and-wife Gary and Valene Ewing for three episodes. The duo recurred in the original series of Dallas prior to the launch of the spin-off Knots Landing in 1979.
