'Mad Men's Jessica Pare to Star in New CBS Navy SEAL Drama Pilot

Deadline reports that "Mad Men" star Jessica Paré has signed on as a series regular opposite Jim Caviezel in CBS' upcoming untitled Navy SEAL drama pilot. Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., A.J. Buckley, and Toni Trucks round out the cast.

Penned by Cavell and directed by Chulack, the drama centers on "the lives of the elite Navy SEALs as they train, plan and execute the most dangerous, high-stakes missions our country can ask.: Paré will portray Mandy, described as "a whip smart CIA Analyst, driven to rid the world of evil and get the bad guys."

Paré is perhaps best known for her role as Megan Draper in Mad Men. She recently appeared on the big screen in the Oscar-nominated film Brooklyn opposite Saoirse Ronan.
