William Tennent Grad Mike Vogel Headed to Primetime This Fall

Actor Mike Vogel, former Warminster resident and William Tennent graduate, will take to the fictional skies in September as a member of the cast of ABC's Pan Am, according to tvline.com.

Set in the 1960s, the series finds drama in the lives of the pilots and stewardesses of the biggest airline at the time. Vogel replaces Jonah Lotan to take on the role of Dean, a new hotshot pilot looking to make his mark in a competitive profession. The cast also includes Christina Ricci, Kelli Garner and Michael Mosley. Pan Am premieres Sunday, Sept. 25 at 10 p.m. EST on ABC.

Vogel was born in Abington in 1979 and raised in Warminster. After graduating from William Tennent, he modeled for Levi's before landing a recurring role on the series Grounded for Life. His film credits include Poseidon, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

His next film role will be playing Johnny Foote in the big screen adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel "The Help," scheduled to hit theaters Aug. 10.
