Amber Tamblyn  is set to star opposite Skeet Ulrich in the CBS pilot “Anatomy of Violence,” a crime drama based on British criminal psychologist Adrian Raine’s book “The Anatomy of Violence: The Biological Roots of Crime.”

Tamblyn plays a young FBI agent partnered up with a rogue FBI criminal psychiatrist (Ulrich) with whom she shares a “complicated past.” The pilot is written and executive produced by Howard Gordon (“Homeland”) and directed by Mark Pellington (Arlington Road, I Melt with You).

Tamblyn made her feature acting debut in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 frightener The Ring. Roles in Takashi Shimizu’s The Grudge 2 and Danny Boyle’s Oscar-nominated survival-drama 127 Hours followed. She was last seen as frumpy goody-two-shoes Dr. Martha Masters on the FOX medical drama “House.”
