Episode Info (Upcoming Casting & Storyline):

[DANIEL JANE]

Late 30s to early 40s, first seen in a Saville Row suit and flip- flops, he is a consultant to the CBI (California Bureau of Investigation). Possessed of battered good looks and a romantic, unruly, theatrical air, he is shambolic and graceful simultaneously. Formerly a fake psychic/medium, he has lost none of the showmanship, wit and style of his former calling. But the bravura style is now tempered by wisdom and honesty. Clearly a maverick, with a steely passion for justice, Jane has his share of quirks and eccentricities -- but he also gets the job done...SERIES REGULAR - OPEN TO ALL ETHNICITIES

[CBI SENIOR AGENT TERESA LISBON]

Mid to late 30s, gorgeous, Catholic, Lisbon keeps her hair short, wears no makeup or jewelry. By-the-book, this CBI agent quickly locks horns with Daniel Jane, whom she refers to as a "liability." However, even she can't argue with the fact that Jane has closed more cases than most. Driven and intense, with a great deal of self-discipline, Lisbon can come across as brusque, but more than likely there's a much more sensual and passionate woman beneath the tough veneer...
