deadline.com reports: Dexter co-star James Remar has been cast as leads in NBC’s pilot Hatfields & McCoys, a take on the infamous feud set in present-day Pittsburgh. The startling death of the McCoy patriarch re-ignites the feud between the two legendary families, unleashing decades of resentment.
Remar, repped by Gersh and Lighthouse Entertainment, plays the powerful and very wealthy Joe Hatfield, estranged husband to Mary Hatfield (Rebecca De Mornay). He is currently filming the eighth and unofficially final season of Dexter (Remar’s deal is up at the end of the season), recently shot indie Horns and is seen playing dual roles in Django Unchained.
