Actress set to play Casey Anthony in TV movie recast

ORLANDO, Fla. — The actress who was set to play Casey Anthony in the upcoming Lifetime bio-picture has been recast.

After a week into filming the movie titled "Prosecuting Casey Anthony," the woman set to play Anthony, Holly Deveaux, is out and actress Virginia Welch is in.

Welch's film credits include "Love Bites," "Confidence Trick" and "Iniquity."
