Kevin Zegers Joins Fox’s ‘Gracepoint,’ Amy Gumenick Added To AMC’s ‘Turn’

Kevin Zegers (Transamerica) is set to co-star in Fox‘s event series Gracepoint, a U.S. remake of the UK’s Broadchurch. The project, from Shine America and Kudos, centers on Detective Emmett Carver (David Tennant), the lead male investigator on the case of a shocking murder of 11-year-old Danny that puts a small town under scrutiny. Zegers, repped by ICM Partners, Station 3 and Hansen Jacobsen, will play Owen Burke, a handsome, clever and extremely laid back young reporter on the local town newspaper. With the arrival of a big city journalist, his dormant ambitions are awakened – getting both himself and his aunt Ellie (Anna Gunn) in big trouble.

Amy Gumenick is set to recur on AMC’s upcoming period drama series Turn. Set in the summer of 1778, it centers on farmer Abe Woodhull who bands together with a group of childhood friends to form The Culper Ring, an unlikely group of spies who turn the tide in America’s fight for independence. Gumenick, repped by Seven Summits and TalentWorks, will play Philomena who is quite taken with British Spymaster John Andre (JJ Feild) and is recruited by him for some undercover work of her own.
