Hot Properties O'Grady, Vergara land pilots

Two stars of ABC's comedy Hot Properties, Gail O'Grady and Sofia Vergara, have landed lead roles on pilots.

O'Grady will star in the CW's untitled Kevin Williamson drama, an ensemble soap centered on a troubled teen who moves with his family to Palm Springs, California. O'Grady will play the boy's mom.

O'Grady's TV credits include the series American Dreams, which NBC canceled last year after a three-year-run, and the telefilm Sex & the Single Mom.

Vergara, meanwhile, has been tapped for ABC's untitled comedy starring Donal Logue. The project centers on a group of blue-collar guys in New York who decide to rob a celebrity.

In addition to Vergara, Kevin Michael Richardson, Lenny Venito, and Josh Grisetti also have been cast in the pilot.

Vergara has appeared on the big screen in Chasing Papi and last year's Four Brothers.
