"Prison Break" actor enters supernatural "Gates"

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Prison Break" alumnus Frank Grillo has landed the lead in ABC's supernatural crime drama series "The Gates."

Luke Mably, Janina Gavankar and Chandra West also have been cast in the project, which is being eyed for a summer launch.

Written by Richard Hatem and Grant Scharbo, "Gates" centers on a big-city cop (Grillo) who becomes chief of police in a seemingly sleepy planned community only to discover there's much more to the residents than meets the eye.

Mably ("The Prince and Me") will play one of the residents, a cardiologist who is a vampirelike creature. Gavankar ("The L Word") will play a local cop with a dark secret. West ("90210") will play the owner of a tea shop.
