Scott Porter Signs Up For Ridley Scott’s Nomads

Fans of “Friday Night Lights” – such as myself (I’m still not happy it was taken off air by ITV 2) will remember Scott Porter as Jason Street, the small-town Texas high school football star who, in the show’s first episode, was injured and spent the rest of the show in a wheelchair. Porter is also one of many young names rumored to be testing for Marvel Studios’ ‘Captain America’ movie.

Now however he’s also been cast as one of the male leads in the CW’s action-adventure show “Nomads”.

“Nomads” is a new show by Ken Sanzel and producers Ridley and Tony Scott, and follows a group of nearly broke young American backpackers in Europe who agree to earn money by working secret missions for the CIA. Sounds ‘Chuck’ esque and pretty decent to me…
