Harris on Hold with Deal at ABC, Touchstone

Laura Harris has inked a talent holding deal with ABC and Touchstone TV.

The pact calls for Harris to be cast in a one-hour pilot targeted for fall 2007 or to join an existing ABC/Touchstone series.

The talent deal stems from Harris' starring role on the ABC/Touchstone TV drama pilot "Hollis and Rae" this past development season. In the pilot, from Steven Bochco and Callie Khouri, she played one of the title characters.

Harris, whose series credits include Fox's "24" and Showtime's "Dead Like Me," most recently did a multiepisode arc on USA Network's "The Dead Zone." She is repped by Endeavor and manager John Carrabino.
