CBS may not yet have given us any real look 'Under the Dome' as production gears up, but its casting sure has turned heads. Last week casting 'Breaking Bad' star Dean Norris as the Stephen King-adapted piece's villain, 'Under the Dome' has next cast ousted 'Twilight' actress Rachelle Lefevre in the leading female role.
