Random Acts: Ali Larter’s back in The Asset

29 March 2012 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Ali’s back. Yey! She’s starring in a pilot, The Asset, playing a CIA agent who’s also a photo-journalist. Apparently – at least according to Josh Friedman who created Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles – photojournalists take pictures of homeless people. The CIA need to work on their cover stories a little, I reckon. Or it might just be Ali being random.
