Matt Keeslar and Natalie Morales have been tapped to star in ABC Family’s comic-inspired drama pilot The Middleman, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Mary Pat Gleason also has been cast in the one-hour project, which is based on Medium writer-producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach’s graphic novels for Viper Comics, which were illustrated by Les McClaine. The project was ordered to pilot last month. Middleman centers on Wendy Watson (Morales), a twenty-something struggling artist recruited by a secret agency to fight comic-book-type villains. Keeslar will play the title character, a superhero who serves as her guide. Gleason will play Ida, the robotic gatekeeper and veteran assistant to Keeslar.
