Jennifer Beals has been tapped as the female lead opposite Jason Clarke in "Ride-along," Shawn Ryan's drama pilot for Fox, and John Larroquette is set to co-star opposite Jason Isaacs on another Fox drama pilot, "Pleading Guilty."

Meanwhile, Keith David has landed a lead opposite David Lyons on the NBC drama pilot "The Cape."

"Ride-Along" revolves around on a rogue cowboy cop (Clarke) and Chicago's first female police chief (Beals) who vow to clean up the streets. "The L Word" alumna Beals recently recurred on another Fox/20th TV drama, "Lie to Me." Her casting on "Ride-Along" comes a week after she signed with Paradigm. She also is with Greenlight Management.
