Cast members from two of the soon-to-disappear WB's signature series are looking to get back into series TV.

Former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Anthony Stewart Head has signed on to play the "Him" in ABC's comedy "Him & Us," while Joshua Jackson, formerly of "Dawson's Creek," has joined a CBS drama from one of the showrunners of "CSI."

Head, who played Buffy's watcher Rupert Giles on "Buffy," will play the lead role of an aging rock star in "Him & Us," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The pilot, executive produced by Elton John, centers on the relationship between the star, his manager and the rest of his entourage. Ashley Williams ("How I Met Your Mother") is also in the cast.

In addition to "Buffy," head starred in the BBC series "Manchild" and has a recurring part on "Little Britain," playing the prime minister. He also appears in the romantic comedy "Imagine Me & You," which opened in limited release last week.

Jackson, meanwhile, has been cast in an untitled drama pilot from "CSI" executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. The show is an ensemble piece about associates at a law firm toiling under a demanding partner. Jackson's character is a new associate who is put on a death row inmate's case.

The former Pacey Witter has recently appeared in the Wes Craven/Kevin Williamson werewolf movie "Cursed" and the indie flicks "Aurora Borealis" and "The Shadow Dancer." He's currently working on "Bobby," writer-director Emilio Estevez's dramatization of the assassination of Robert Kennedy.
