Jason O'Mara gets (another) shot, American Idol lines up audition cities and more TV Bites after the jump.
· Jason O'Mara has officially been signed on for the lead role in the Steven Spielberg produced Fox mid-season series Terra Nova. The former Life on Mars star will play Jim Shannon, "a devoted father with a checkered past who guides his family through this new land of limitless beauty, mystery and terror." And by that, they mean dinosaurs. Welcome to Jurassic Park, etc. [Deadline]
· Ryan Seacrest took time out of his busy schedule of running the world to tweet about the audition cities for season 10 of American Idol. So if you're a terrible singer in Milwaukee, Nashville, New Orleans, East Rutherford, Austin or San Francisco, here's your chance for national ridicule. [Zap2It]
· Hey, remember Matthew Lillard? The erstwhile Scream actor has found a new gig -- he's playing a dad on the CMT comedy pilot, The Hard Life. [Deadline]
