Cast members have been named for TV movies based on Lee Falk's "The Phantom" comic strip and Philip José Farmer's "Riverworld" novels.

Ryan Carnes ("Desperate Housewives") has been cast as the Phantom and "Battlestar Galactica" veteran Tahmoh Penikett and "Smallville" supergirl Laura Vandervoort will star in "Riverworld."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Penikett will play war correspondent Matt Ellman, who is killed along with his fiancee (Vandervoort) but awakens in a mysterious world populated by everyone who has lived on Earth.

In "Phantom," Carnes will play the well-known comic book hero, and Isabella Rossellini will guest star as the villainous Lithia, who is overseeing a mind-control experiment.
