" After Marie absconded for Michael J. Fox&amp;#039;s bed, what was Hank Schrader to do? Dean Norris, who plays everyone but Walter White&amp;#039;s favorite DEA agent on Breaking Bad, will star in the Steven Spielberg-produced CBS drama Under the Dome, airing concurrently with the final season of the AMC show this summer. Joining a spate of post-apocalyptic dramas on television and in film (The Hunger Games,Walking Dead, Revolution, even, you could argue, Breaking Bad itself), Under the Dome focuses on a small town that is trapped under a glass bubble, a plot you may recall from Stephen King&amp;#039;s 2009 novel of the same name, or The Simpsons Movie. Tapping the Harvard-educated (we were surprised, too) Norris to play Big Jim, a city councilman and used-car dealership owner, is a brilliant casting move. As he proved over the last five years on Breaking Bad, he has the unique ability to combine blustering dad jokes with unassailably good judgment, an amalgam of Friday Night Lights&amp;#039; Buddy Garrity and Coach Taylor. Presumably, being trapped under a dome will provoke more blunderheaded abuses of authority than levelheaded and organized leadership, or they would have made him a city councilman/CPA, but it will probably be a lot more fun this way. Between the casting of Norris and Funny Jokester Natalie Martinez and the fact that the pilot will be directed by Niels Arden Oplev, who helmed the arguably superior Swedish Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Under the Dome is officially the new summer show we&amp;#039;re most excited about.
