Deadline.com has announced that Virginia Madsen, David Julian Hirsh, Jon Seda and Billy Zane are set for recurring roles on upcoming TV shows this fall.

Madsen will join the cast of AMC's western drama, Hell On Wheels in a three-episode story arc. The actress will portray Mrs. Hannah Durant, the wife of Thomas "Doc" Durant played by Colm Meaney.  

Jon Seda, best known for his role on 'Treme', will appear in NBC's new drama series CHICAGO FIRE in a three-episode arc. He will portray Detective Antonio Dawson, the brother to paramedic Gabriela Dawson (Monica Raymund). 

David Julian Hirsh will have a season-long role on Showtime's 'Weeds' as the "liberal and charming Rabbi Dave." The cable network recently announced that the comedy's upcoming season would be its last.

Billy Zane is set to star as the title character in ReelzChannel's four-part miniseries Barabbas. The drama is based on Par Lagerkvist's novel and follows the life of Barabbas (Zane), described as "a man who was jailed at the same time as Jesus Christ, but who was spared from crucifixion when the masses demanded his release over Jesus. The series picks up where the Bible left off."
