Aquaman Lead is Cast

---

Look for newcomer Will Toale to play the King of Atlantis in the upcoming TV series.

Variety reports Will Toale, a 28-year old newcomer to Hollywood, will play Aquaman in the upcoming WB TV series from Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar.

Toale has only done stage theatrics up to this point, including "A Streetcar Named Desire."

"In the [three month] search for Aquaman, we saw over 400 people in England, Australia, Canada and several U.S. cities," Gough said. "We saw Will's tape over Christmas, and he was the only guy we took to the network."

The pilot for the series will shoot in March, probably in Miami, and debut next fall.

"We call him 'the much-maligned Aquaman,' but when we first pitched 'Smallville,' Superman was considered cheesy," Gough said. "In the comic, Aquaman's the lost king of Atlantis, but in our version, he is Arthur Curry, this twentysomething who owns a dive shop."
