William Fichtner Top Lines Night And Day For TNT

William Fichtner, who plays Agent Mahone on the Fox series Prison Break, has landed the lead role in the new TNT drama Night and Day, says The Hollywood Reporter. Former ER staffer Sherry Stringfield has also been cast. Described as “fast-paced” and “gritty,” the show will explore the life of Fichtner’s Dan Hollister, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent who works for a special threat intervention task force. Stringfield will play his stay-at-home wife, Elizabeth. It is unsure how the deal will affect Fichtner’s role on Prison Break, but his contract expires after this season. Night and Day will be written and produced by Todd Robinson and 24 mastermind Joel Surnow.
