Didn't even know there was a channel called USA. But yeah, I agree with you to an extent, ABC is surely a much bigger network and pilots are always a risk, I think most of them don't get picked up. And it's understandable for an actor to want a "starring" role with all the perks it offers. I just think that sometimes the star role can be so much less exciting...

Mariana Klaveno was a series regular (not even a recurring guest, she was a star) on Lifetime's Devious Maids. She gave up that role to become one of the leads - albeit the lowest billed lead - on a procedural show. And the main characters on procedural shows are usually just pawns, there to solve the weekly mystery. Their personalities are shallow and uninteresting. She gave up a really fun character that must have been great to play, in a show that focuses on the stories of its characters, to star as what is probably just another stoic detective on the millionth crime-solving show on TV. Good for her, for landing a leading role in what could turn out to be a higher-profile series. But it's still something that doesn't make much sense to me. :/ But it doesn't concern me, so, whatever.

I understand Meghan Ory cos Riley on Intelligence must have been a better role than Ruby/Red. :P I still want her back like crazy though.
