Jaime Lee Kirchner nabs lead role in CW pilot 'Dead People'

Jaime Lee Kirchner has nabbed the lead role in CW pilot 'Dead People,' opposite Andrew J. West.

Written/executive produced by Californication creator Tom Kapinos, 'Dead People' centers on Floyd (West), down-on-his-luck, semi-alcoholic but roguishly charming cab driver, Deadline.com reported.

After a near-death experience when he's pronounced dead following an accident but is revived two minutes later, Floyd suddenly has the ability to interact with ghosts, including his late ex-wife whom he has never gotten over.

Kirchner, will play Charly, a tough, talented, no-nonsense cop who's seen it all, but is unprepared for Floyd (West), who talks to the dead. Though she thinks he's a nut case at first, she soon realizes he's telling the truth and decides that he could prove to be very helpful with her police work.
