Former "Lost" star Jorge Garcia has landed a role in CBS' pilot "The Ordained," EW reports. The drama -- which will follow the son of a "Kennedy-esque" political family who leaves the priesthood when his sister's life is threatened by a conspiracy -- just cast "Boardwalk Empire" alum Charlie Cox as its lead earlier in the week.
Garcia will play the lead investigator at the law at the firm Cox's character joins after leaving the clergy. THR reports Garcia's character will be "an easygoing hotdog-eating guy ... who uses unorthodox methods to get the job done and often does so with levity and humor."
Since his memorable role as Hurley on "Lost," Garcia has had roles in "Alcatraz," "Once Upon A Time," and "Californication."
