British comedy actress Lucy Punch isn't best known for roles in dramas but she'll have her chance to make a new impression with American audiences in the TV adaptation of the Powers comic book. Punch has just been revealed as the first cast member in the pilot. She'll play Det. Deena Pilgrim, the partner to the show's main character.
The comic was created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Fleming and follows a pair of police detectives assigned to investigate crimes involving "powers" -- superheroes (and sometimes supervillains). FX is shooting the Powers pilot this summer, and it still has to find the right beefcake actor to play Det. Christian Walker.
Punch has starred in a number of films, often in small roles. Among her parts she appeared in Hot Fuzz, Dinner for Schmucks and Elektra Luxx, and will have a bigger part opposite Cameron Diaz in this week's Bad Teacher.
