"Supernatural" star Jared Padalecki will play the title role as Cordell Walker in the reimagining of CBS' 1990s action-crime series "Walker, Texas Ranger".
Padalecki's Walker is a widowed father of two finding his way back to his family while serving in the most elite law enforcement unit in Texas. Walker returns to his home in Austin after two years of undercover work on a high-profile case to discover that his family needs his attention.

According to Deadline, Landi will play Bret, fiance of Keegan Allen's Liam who is Cordell's brother. Bret is genuinely in love with Liam - but he thinks Manhattan is the place to be, and that he and Liam should lead a life where the only horses are in Central Park.
