Pilot Season: TV Of Tomorrow
'The Secret Circle' finds its Faye: Phoebe Tonkin
The CW's "Secret Circle" pilot has found its Faye: Australian actress Phoebe Tonkin has landed the coveted role, Deadline reports.In the TV series based on the book series from L.J. Smith, Faye is 17 years-old and a member of the witches circle who wants to test the group's powers. She is described as stylishly sexy and can play "the danger card." She is curious about the new girl Cassie (Britt Robertson) and clashes with the coven's leader Diana.
Tonkin has previously appeared in the Australian soap "Home and Away" and "H20: Just Add Water." The pilot script was written by "Vampire Diaries" executive producer Kevin Williamson and Andrew Miller.
"Sarah Connor Chronicles" star Thomas Dekker recently joined the cast as the male lead Adam.
Seems like the biggest roles left to cast are bad boy Nick and coven leader Diana. Any suggestions, Zappers?

Phoebe also starred in "Tomorrow When the War Began" which was the biggest Aussie movie of 2010, and has just been confirmed that the sequel to the movie is happening, which Phoebe will once again star in.
So happy about this! I remember reading that she was planning on moving to LA for pilot season because she wanted to try her hand at the US market after being on Australian shows, so I'm so happy she was cast in something. I think a lot of the younger Aussie actors get the shaft after they've done kids programming back home, and they don't get to be seen by a larger audience, and a lot of them are so talented, it's a shame. Kudos to Phoebe.
Dianna the coven leader- OLIVIA WILLIAMS! She was absolutely amazing as Adelle in Dollhouse!
Bad boy Nick- the actor who played Adam on Supernatural would be a good fit I think.
Olivia Williams is way too old. According to the sides, Diana is supposed to be 18 (and she's in h.s. in the books).
Too bad American actors are rarely cast in American television series anymore. You're watching the death of the American actor.
THE PERFECT NICK IS:
STEVEN STRAIT!!!
BESIDES I HAVE NOT SEEN HIM IN AGES!!!
@blake: JAKE ABEL WOULD BE A GREAT CHOICE TOO
