The CW is sending two of its actors to streaming soon -- but don't worry, they're not going anywhere.
iZombie's Rahul Kohli has just lined up a movie set to debut on Netflix, while one Jane the Virgin actress has been upgraded from a guest star to a series regular on The Tick from Amazon Studios.
Yara Martinez, who played the villainous Ms. Lint in the pilot for The Tick, will be back for much more as the show goes to series, Deadline reports.
Martinez, who plays Rafael's sister Luisa on Jane the Virgin, will also recur in the upcoming season of I Love Dick for Netflix. In The Tick, she plays an arms dealer who had one of her deals blown up (literally) by The Tick in the pilot. The facial-scar-and-tight-black-dress fashion she brings to the part will make her easily recognizable even to fans who are more used to seeing her play less-deadly characters.
They also have the news that Kohli will take a role in the upcoming romantic comedy film Happy Anniversary, from writer/director Jared Stern. The trade says that the movie stars Noel Wells and Ben Schwartz "as a couple at a relationship crossroads who must decide whether to stay together or calls it quits." Kohli will play Ed, Sam's (Schwartz) loyal and vulgar best friend and business partner.
