Maria Bello Cast on Touch

Maria Bello is joining the cast of Touch.

The actress - who anchored NBC's Prime Suspect prior to that show's cancellation earlier this season - will play the mother of a daughter who shares a similar gift to that of Jake on this Fox drama.

According to Deadline, Bello is in line to become a series regular on season two... if there is a season two. Ratings so far make that a strong possibility.
