Jimmy Smits talks about the new television show "Cane" in which he will star in the fall. He was attending the CBS portion of the Television Critics Association Press Tour at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, July 18, 2007. At the event, the network offered a glimpse of its roster of actors and actresses who will be featured in its new shows.
Actor Hector Elizondo, left, and actress Rita Moreno are also in the cast of "Cane," about a family empire in South Florida of rum and sugar cane. They speak during the CBS portion of the Television Critics Association Press Tour.
Actor James Woods makes a point about his show "Shark," which is moving to a new time period in its second season.
Drew Carey spoke at the press tour of his midseason replacement game show, called "Power of 10," which will offer contestants the opportunity to win $10 million by guessing American views on a variety of issues.
Eric Winter speaks of his role in the new CBS drama, "Viva Laughlin," which is billed as a musical mystery/thriller about a man hoping to open a casino in Laughlin, Nev. Hugh Jackman is the executive producer, and has a recurring role in the cast.

Michael Trevino, 22, finally gets onto the cast of a prime-time TV show, after two full years of guest-starring in everything from "CSI: Miami" to "Cold Case" to "Without A Trace." He will play a member of the powerful Vega family in "Cane," starring Jimmy Smits.
If the cast of "Jericho" -- Skeet Ulrich, Lennie James and Ashley Scott -- look as happy as...peanuts...that may be because of the successful campaign by outraged fans to reverse CBS's decision to cancel the show. The fans deluged the network with nuts.
Asked how they were planning to thank the fans for saving Jericho, cast member Skeet Ulrich joked, "I think going door-to-door might be the best way," then said seriously, "It has been an incredible experience from the lows of cancellation to the fans rising up for us. I think now the best way we can thank them is to continue to make the best show we can make...''
