joel de la fuente in canterbury's law

Just read that actor Joel de la Fuente has joined the main ensemble of the upcoming Fox TV series Canterbury's Law. You might recognize Joel from his frequent recurring role the last couple of years as TARU Tech Ruben Morales on NBC's Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. The new show, starring Julianna Margulies, is a legal drama about "a defiant female defense attorney who's willing to bend the rules in order to protect the wrongfully accused." Joel will be recurrently appearing on the series, playing Assistant Attorney General Peter Upton, and makes his debut in the second episode: FOX Sets Premiere Date for 'Canterbury's Law'. I also noticed on Joel's website that he's got a role in M. Night Shyamalan's new movie The Happening. It's scheduled for release in 2008.
