"Johnny Simmons has boarded the CW pilot Blink. The Perks of Being a Wallflower actor is slated to play the middle child, Dodge Trask, in the family drama.  Blink revolves around the Trasks, whose lives are forever altered after a car crash leaves their father severely injured, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The accident leaves Trask family patriarch Greg in a coma-like state. He narrates the series, which mixes real life and fantasy sequences. Dodge, who is unharmed in the car accident, is described as a rogueish bachelor who is lacking direction. A talented musician, he has given up on his career aspirations and works as a door-to-door salesman.   Madeline Carroll (Mr. Popper&amp;#039;s Penguins, Machine Gun Preacher) and Michael Weston (House) are also attached to star in Blink. Blink has been written by Awkward&amp;#039;s Vera Herbert, and will be directed by Peter Hedges. David Marshall Grant (Smash) will join Herbert as an executive producer on the 60-minute pilot for CBS Television Studios, along with Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman.
