EXCLUSIVE: Sam Waterston (Law & Order, Grace and Frankie), Campbell Scott (Furious, Royal Pains) and Chris Chalk (It: Welcome to Derry, Feud: Capote vs. the Swans) will guest star in the upcoming NBC drama series Line of Fire.

After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice … even if it means betraying their sworn code.
The series also stars Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, Taylor Bloom and Charlie Barnett.
Waterston will play former President Thomas Barnes. He and Mike have a deep bond, but Mike is haunted by a close call from his time on detail.
Scott will play Terry, a U.S. Senator who is Jane’s boyfriend. He’s hoping to move their relationship to the next level but knows that Jane’s first priorities will always be her work and her family.
