Lolita Davidovich and David Clennon of Gone Girl have joined the cast of Katie Jacobs and Nick Wechsler's independently produced medical drama pilot Dr. Del, inspired by Peter Hessler's New Yorker piece "Dr. Don," according to a report by Deadline.

Written by John Sayles and directed by Jacobs, Dr. Del follows Del Canyon (John Hawkes) as he reluctantly returns to his small hometown of Isotope to run his family's apothecary, the only source for medical attention for hundreds of miles. There, he emerges as the town healer while he grapples between his desire to distance himself from a painful past and his inability to turn his back on a community struggling to find its place in contemporary America. Davidovich plays Dawn Doggerty, the troubled wife of Mayor Tanner Doggerty (Ted Levine), who has harbored a long-standing secret affection for Del (Hawkes). Clennon plays Mr. Stone, a mysterious and ailing outsider who has relocated to the outskirts of Isotope. Also in the cast in the pilot are child actor Charlie Shotwell as Stinger Roper - Del's precocious grandson - Chloe Sevigny, Leven Rambin, Don Harvey and Nathan Keyes.

Gil Birmingham, David Selby, Chris Mulkey, David Andrews, Joseph Lyle Taylor have been cast as Crow, Grover, Charley, Pete, and Ace - local Isotopians, friendly and possibly radioactive.

Davidovich, represented by Artists International Management, is a recurring character on the second season of True Detective and on Fox's The Longest Ride where she plays Scott Eastwood's mother. Andrews, represented by Artists International Management, is recurring on House Of CardsWhispers as well as Justified.
