" Jeremy Davies and Robert Knepper have joined the cast of Texas Rising. The miniseries focuses on the Texas Revolution against Mexico, which saw the rise of the infamous Texas Rangers.   Davies will play Sergeant Ephraim Knowles, a deceitful rogue who only cares about his own survival and who only joins the Rangers to prevent his own execution for desertion, according to Deadline. Knepper has been cast as Empresario Buckley, who abuses his power as the only law in his town. Rewarding himself with riches and strengthening his hold on the settlement, it is this misuse of power by Buckley that leads to the creation of the Texas Rangers. Davies has starred in Lost and Justified, while Knepper has featured in Prison Break and Heroes. Previously announced cast members include Bill Paxton, Chad Michael Murray, Brendan Fraser, Ray Liotta, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Michael Rapaport and Christopher McDonald. Texas Rising, from A+E Studios and ITV Studios America, is expected to air on the History channel next year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
