Alfre Woodard is getting into the spy biz.
The Emmy-winning actress has signed on to costar with Christian Slater in the new NBC series My Own Worst Enemy, a sort of small-screen version of James Cameron's movie True Lies.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Enemy revolves around an easygoing suburban dad (Slater) who, when not watching over his family, moonlights as a debonair secret agent.
Woodard, who was Emmy'd for her Desperate Housewives turn, will play his tough-as-nails boss at HQ, who also interacts with the spy in his everyday life via her cover identity.
Enemy, which also features Saffron Burrows, Mike O'Malley and Yara Martinez, will air Mondays at 10 p.m. on the Peacock net, starting this fall.
In other casting news, Saving Private Ryan's Adam Goldberg is joining forces with up-and-comers Emily VanCamp and Dan Byrd for the indie coming-of-age tale Norman.
The drama will follow a wisecracking troubled teen (Byrd) who pretends he's dying of cancer. Complications ensue as he deals with new high school love (VanCamp) and his teacher (Goldberg).
After a stint last season on HBO's Entourage, Goldberg joined the upcoming indie horror flick From Within. He'll then return to the tube opposite Lost's Harrold Perrineau in the new ABC series The Unusuals.
Norman is now filming in Spokane, Wash.
