Jessalyn Gilsig (“Vikings”) is set to star in the pilot to USA’s new supernatural drama “Evil Men.” She joins Dallas Roberts (“The Walking Dead”), Clifton Collins Jr. (Pacific Rim), and Parminder Nagra (“The Blacklist”) in the Gary Fleder (Kiss the Girls) directed project.

“Evil Men” tells the story of Harry Killas, an upstanding family man (Roberts) forced to kill the wicked to keep his loved ones and city safe from a powerful and otherworldly entity. Things take an interesting turn when his first intended victim ends up mentoring him as a murderer.

Gilsig plays Adela, an aggressively ambitious Assistant District Attorney who is extremely loyal to Harry. Those who watch a lot of TV will be quite familiar with Gilsig’s work on the small screen. Her impressive creds include “Vikings,” “Glee,” “Heroes,” “Nip/Tuck,” “NYPD Blue,” and “Boston Public.”

Clatto has been a fan of Gilsig since “Boston Public” and we’re excited to see her in a horror show. Another selling point for us is the pilot is written by Daniel Taplitz, the writer/director behind Commandments, a wonderful little dark comedy about a man so angry with God he sets out to break every commandment in the Bible.
