The “Mad Men” alum would play the female lead, a no-nonsense sheriff in Monterey, California, according to The Wrap, which says that Vince Vaughn won’t have a lead role on the HBO series. The male lead roles would instead go to Colin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch, should their negotiations be finalized. The Wrap also reports that “The Killing’s” Michelle Forbes is also up for a role.

"Mad Men's" Elisabeth Moss Addresses "True Detective" Casting Buzz
by Michael Ausiello
August 9, 2014


Elisabeth Moss is setting the record straight about rumors that she’s in talks to snag one of the four coveted lead roles in "True Detective‘s" closely-watched second season.

In a recent interview with USA Today, the "Mad Men" actress smiled when asked about the buzz, before telling the paper that she hasn’t been approached by HBO — at least “not in the way everyone is talking about… I had to ask my own people, ‘Have you not told me something?'”



Moss isn’t perturbed by the headlines, however premature they may be.

“For me as an actor who’s been in this business for over 25 years, it’s so flattering to be associated with that show,” she said. “And for anyone to think that I could be a part of that show.”
