CW network's "Aquaman" TV series spin-off "Mercy Reef" has hooked itself a new leading man - 28-year-old "Passions" star Justin Hartley says Aquaman TV.
In a surprise recasting, Hartley has been hired to play the lead role, A.C. Curry, in the drama pilot from Warner Bros. Television. Hartley replaces model Will Toale, who originally was cast in the role when the pilot was ordered by The WB.
Hartley will join Ving Rhames as lighthouse keeper McCaffery, and Denise Quinones as fighter pilot Rachel Starling.
