Southland may have been relegated to Friday nights on NBC, but the show is adding a pair of new characters in an attempt to freshen up its cast.

The series is currently casting for...

Andre Marchane: Good-looking, slick, occasionally overly-aggressive African-American male in his 30s. Will be Lydia's new partner. Sees her as a rising star. She sees him as an annoyance. Series regular potential.
Gil Peuente: A native Los Angeleno of Mexican-American heritage; a NARC Detective on the force. Possesses a blend of aggression and kindness. He's in his 30s. Series regular potential.

Got any ideas for who should take on these roles?
