ATWT's Billy Magnussen to Guest on Tamblyn's 'Unusuals'

AS THE WORLD TURNS star Billy Magnussen (Casey) has taped an episode of the new Amber Tamblyn ABC series THE UNUSUALS. The episode, "The Dentist," will air in May and Magnussen plays a character named Bo. Tamblyn is still fondly remembered by soap fans from her years as Emily on GENERAL HOSPITAL. THE UNUSUALS explores both the grounded drama and comic insanity of the world of New York City police detectives, where every cop has a secret. It also helps to have a twisted sense of humor, since every day could be your last. 

 Detective Casey Shraeger (Tamblyn) has just been transferred to the NYPD's Homicide unit from Vice and is instantly thrown into a setting of bullets and bodies. As she begins her new assignment, Casey finds that the force is full of secrets, which serves her well, since she's keeping a few of her own. But her first case is not an easy one, as she's assigned to investigate the death of one of the department's own, the former partner of Detective Jason Walsh (Jeremy Renner), who is now her new partner. THE UNUSUALS premieres on Wednesday, April 8 at 10:00 p.m., ET).
