LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Roswell" star Jason Behr has taken over the lead role in Fox's overhauled drama pilot "Company Man."

The project, previously known as "NSA Innocent," centers on a family man (Behr) recruited by the National Security Agency as a spy within the defense contracting company he works for. Annie Wersching ("General Hospital") will play his wife.

The pilot originally was scheduled to go into production two weeks ago with British actor Stephen Moyer as the lead. Following a table read March 12, the production start date was pushed in order to rework the concept and recast the lead.

The main character and his wife, a role that had not been cast, are now significantly younger.
