Reed was in a TV pilot made for Fox in 2006 entitled, Faceless, with Sean Bean and Stana Katic. He played FBI Agent Marcus Ambrose.

Breakdown--

Lead; Eddie Pray: Early 30s. Eddie Pray is a hard criminal, an a__hole, an animal, determined, through cunning and brutality, to rise through the L.A. crime hierarchy for his own purposes - which happen to be those of John Robson.

Series Regular; John Robson: A Federal Prosecutor living in Sherman Oaks with his young family, he is driven, brilliant and intuitive. Robson is fiercely certain that there is a link between all the crime factions in L.A. and that there is one overlord whose capture will topple them all. Despite losing support from the FBI, despite the nagging doubt of his assistant prosecutor, Diana Palos, and despite the mounting pressure from his wife to spend more time with their family, Robson won't back down from his conviction and set the wheels in motion, not for the first time, to try to get to the top via one of the middlemen, Lucas Reynosa. Before he can close the deal with Reynosa, however, Robson is brutally beaten, shot in the head, thrown into the river and left for dead - but manages to reach a phone for help and winds up in a hospital, where, after being in a coma for three months and learning that his family has been killed, he emerges, a new man with an old agenda: Eddie Pray.

Lead; Diana Palos: 28, her looks made even more appealing by her intelligence and tenacity, a workaholic, Diana is John Robson's Assistant Prosecutor, who likes and respects him but is growing nervous that his pet project - interconnecting the crime hierarchy of L.A. till he reaches the head honcho - is unrealistic and unachievable. Extremely capable, experienced, savvy, Diana is promoted to Federal Prosecutor after John Robson's near-murder and his subsequent disappearance. Working closely with FBI agent Ambrose, Diana has clearly taken on Robson's obsession, and is working the same suspects with the same frustrating results. Not given to paranoia, Diana reluctantly accepts Ambrose's insistence that she have police protection.

Series Regular; Supervising Special Agent Vincent Marcus Ambrose: 30s. An FBI agent, white collar with a steel spine, Ambrose is fed up with John Robson's apparently fruitless goose chase for the top of command of the crime chain, and is about to pull FBI aid to Robson's pet project. Attracted to Diana, Ambrose gives Robson one more chance and, in the aftermath of the attempted murder of Robson and the murder of his family, appears to have jumped on the bandwagon himself. Fully committed to following Diana's lead in Robson's pet project, Ambrose is worried about Diana's safety, and insists that she accept police protection.

Eddie Prey - Sean Bean
John Robson - Brett Cullen
Diana Palos - Stana Katic
Marcus Ambrose - Reed Diamond


I'm trying to look for a non-YT copy (hopefully, a better quality than this one)

Oh my god, Sean Bean and Stana Katic in addition to Reed Diamond I AM HAPPY! When I get sound back on my computer I am totally watching this. Thank you so much for digging it up!

Stana and Reed had this powerwalking thing going on in the latter scenes which, unfortunately, kinda failed because of the lack of awesome. lol.

That, that kind of makes me cry. Well I suppose he moved on to better power walkers and she figured out she could just grab people's orifices.

Having watched this a few days ago, I have to say the evolution of Marcus from before the shooting of John Robson to after was interesting and I'm sure they'd have shown a lot of that b/c they were dedicated to flashbacks to Robson before the shooting (b/c John is listed as a series regular).

Also, imagine Marcus getting into Fox Mulder "Trust No One" mode b/c someone is leaking FBI intelligence to the bad guys. Oh, and he'd have won the girl over eventually. We all know it's true.

So much potential left in the trash can of some studio executive. Sigh.

REED DIAMOND AND STANA KATIC? OH MY HEART IS FILLED WITH JOY!! EVEN IF THERE IS ATTEMPTED BUT FAILED POWERWALKING.

I don't have the time to watch this now, but I will eventually.
