Casting Series Regulars for NBC Series Pilot "Holding Patterns"

"Holding Pattern" is an ensemble comedy that centers on the beautiful but absent-mined Leah Lund, who shares the bottom floor of a Minneapolis, MN duplex with her best friends Griffin Brady and Sabrina Page. When Griffin plans a surprise romantic dinner at home with intentions of proposing to Sabrina, Leah ruins it by showing up first and drinking the champagne, eating the chocolate off the strawberries, and letting loose two dozen breathtaking butterflies from a red heart shaped box! Then just before Griffin is in a plane crash with Leah, along with their arrogant author friend Chad Kirk and their sheltered upstairs neighbor Daisy Page, he confesses to Leah that he has always been in love with her - but after the crash he loses his memory! All of their lives will be comically changed forever.

Starring in "Holding Pattern" is Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Chyler Leigh playing the show's main protagonist Leah Lund. Leigh's best known role has been Dr. Lexie Grey on the long-running hit ABC medical drama "Grey's Anatomy". She began modeling and appearing in local television commercials at eight years of age, and by nineteen she landed the lead role in the box-office success "Not Another Teen Movie" as Janey Briggs. The next year, Leigh was ranked #65 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2002. In 2012 Chyler Leigh produced and starred in the indie film "Brake" starring opposite Stephen Dorff and Tom Berenger. British comedian Humphrey Ker has been cast in the series regular role of Griffin Brady.
