Sheila Vand cast in 24: Legacy as series regular

Sheila Vand (Argo, NBC’s State Of Affairs) is set as a series regular opposite Corey Hawkins, Miranda Otto and Jimmy Smits in 24: Legacy, Fox’s drama pilot that reboots the 24 franchise with brand new characters and cast.

Vand will play Nilaa, the campaign director of Sen. Donovan (Smits) who is driven and bright and won’t take a back seat to the judgment of Donovan’s wife, Rebecca (Otto). Teddy Sears and Anna Diop also co-star.
