ABC's new show "FlashForward" is adding another actor to its already sizable ensemble: Gabrielle Union.Union, last seen on NBC's "Life" and the movie "Cadillac Records," will have a recurring part on the show as a character named Zoey, a defense lawyer who will also have a "romantic arc" on the show.
Her casting comes on the heels of the show confirming at Comic-Con that former "Lost" star Dominic Monaghan will be a regular. With Monaghan, "FlashForward" now has 10 regulars along with Union's recurring part.
"We're thrilled that Gabrielle is joining our cast," co-creator David S. Goyer says. "When we met with her, we immediately knew she was our Zoey. She's witty, soulful and beautiful. I've been wanting to work with her for a long time."
Union's other recent credits include "Meet Dave," "The Perfect Holiday" and a stint on "Ugly Betty." She also starred in The CW's pilot "Body Politic" in the spring.

She deserves to be on this show. Now let's cross our fingers for the CW to pick up Body Politic.
ABC pick up Body Politic !!
Love her, glad she's getting work. Def will watch the show.
I echo the Body Politic sentiments. Gabrielle Union will provide a fine guest character same as on Life, Ugly Betty, etc. Give the woman a real, multi-dimensional role already though!
