His casting position comes in second place to his position on Valor.[2] The next day, Ben Aldridge was cast as Chaz Perrone, an 'environmentalist' who, while celebrating his anniversary with his wife aboard a cruise ship, promptly throws her overboard.[4] Throughout March, the rest of the cast was filled up, with Sarah Wright Olsen set to star as Joey Perrone, who is thrown overboard by her husband, Chaz, however she miraculously survives the ordeal, and begins to plot her revenge.[3] Alongside, Brent Sexton is set to star as Juan Carlos Rojo, known to his friends as 'Red', K.J. Smith has been set to star as Karla Rolvaag, a detective investigating Joey's disappearance, whom after she interviews Chaz, she immediately gets the feeling that something’s not quite right,[5] and Richard Esteras has been headlined for the role of Earl Edward O'Toole, an man involved in some dark undertakings, who also happens to be a vicious killer.[6]
