Someone made Jeff Hephner an offer he couldn’t refuse, because he’ll play Laurie Metcalf’s son-with-a-conscience on this fall’s new CW drama, Easy Money.  Laurie heads up a family of loan sharks, and her middle son (Jeff) isn’t too sold on the shady biz—even though he’s great at it.  The dynamic between those two actors is central to the series.  Many fans remember Jeff as Sandy’s twisted business partner “Matt Ramsey” on The O.C., or from the short-lived FOX favorite, The Jury.  Two other siblings were just cast, as well: Jay Ferguson (Evening Shade, Surface) and relative-newcomer Katie Lowes.  It’ll be interesting to see how far the clan bends toward organized crime.  Another new CW serial, Privileged, just nailed down a potential love interest for Joanna Garcia’s character.  Brian Hallisay is the wealthy son of a publishing mogul who lives next door, and there’s sure to be tension between him and Joanna’s other fella, Michael Cassidy.  You’ll recognize Brian from numerous key guest-starring roles.
