CBS is getting smart -- Amy Smart, that is. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Smart will star in CBS' untitled medical drama from executive producer John Wells ('ER,' 'Southland'). In it, she will play a "tough nurse" who speaks her mind and is romantically involved with another character.
The show follows a group of medics who travel the country to help less-fortunate people in need of medical care.
While Smart's career has mostly been relegated to film -- she's had a long history with both frat comedies ('Road Trip,' 'Varsity Blues') and romantic comedies ('Just Friends,' 'Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!') -- she's had a few roles on the small screen, including a season of 'Felicity' and a four-episode arc on 'Scrubs' as "Tasty Coma Wife."
In other casting news, ABC's pilot 'Matadors' has secured its leads. According to the report, Michelle Borth ('Tell Me That You Love Me,' 'The Forgotten' ) and Jonathan Scarfe ('ER,' 'Raising The Bar') will star in the 'Romeo and Juliet'-inspired legal drama, about dueling families in Chicago. Borth will play Juliana, the show's heroine who finds herself in a (forbidden) love affair with someone from her rival law firm (played by Friday Night Lights' star Zach Gilford).
No word on expected premiere dates for either show.

Amy Smart was featured in "Smith" which lasted 7 episodes. That's all I know her from.
