"Maria Bello has joined the cast of Fox&amp;#039;s new drama Touch. The series, which debuted this month, stars Kiefer Sutherland as a single father named Martin Bohm whose mute son Jake (David Mazouz) can predict future events.   Bello is set to play an &amp;quot;earth-mother type&amp;quot; whose daughter shared a gift similar to that of Jake, reports Deadline. The former Prime Suspect actress will appear for a multi-episode arc this season. There is apparently an option for Bello to become a series regular if Touch is renewed for a second season. Bello&amp;#039;s NBC series Prime Suspect was cancelled after one season. Touch airs on Thursdays at 9pm/8pm ET/C on Fox.
