Julie Benz and her castmate Michael Chiklis on ABC’s No Ordinary Family, are joining a fall pilot.  Benz was added to the one-hour CBS untitled pilot from Susannah Grant, described as a supernatural medical drama with Jonathan Demme directing.  The plot centers on Michael (Patrick Wilson) a highly-competitive surgeon whose life is changed forever when his ex-wife (Jennifer Ehle), a doctor who runs a free clinic, dies and starts to teach him what life is all about from the hereafter.  Benz will play Michael’s sister, a disorganized single mom with a generous heart.  Chiklis is headlining the CBS comedy pilot Vince Uncensored as announced last week.  Both pilots are in second position to the ABC superhero drama.
