Zach Gilford Joins OFF THE MAP

Hello Folks

EW's Michael Ausiello reports today that Zach Gilford, who is best known for his portrayal of Matt Saracen on "Friday Night Lights", has joined the cast of ABC's medical drama "Off The Map" as a series regular.

Gilford will play a plastic surgeon on the show, and describes the still-developing character as follows: "The character is still being written, but I’ve heard him described as kind of an all-American frat boy. [Series creator Jenna Bans] told me she loves FNL, but wants to distance me from that role as much as possible. [Something] that excited me.”
