Harold Perrineau, who was Michael on ABC's "Lost," was killed off this season.

But there's life after death: Website sources indicate Perrineau has just been cast on ABC's "The Unusuals," a pilot set in a New York city precinct, which is poised to become a mid-season replacement.

Perrineau will portray Det. Leo Banks, who is paranoid about getting shot that he constantly wears his bullet-proof vest, in a comedy-drama written by Noah Hawley of "Bones" and produced by Peter Tolan of "Rescue Me" and "The Larry Sanders Show."
