Noah Wyle + Steve Spielberg + Aliens = Big fat hit?

Noah-Wyle-Spielberg_l File this under "T" for "Things that are going to have to really suck to fail."
Steven Spielberg is pursuing Noah Wyle to headline his untitled alien-invasion pilot for TNT, sources confirm to me exclusively.
The potential series -- which was announced last month at TNT's upfront presentation -- takes place six months after evil extra terrestrials decimate mankind. Wyle would play the leader of a ragtag group of citizens who try to bring down the aggressors.
Translation: It's Spielberg's take on V!
The gig would mark a small-screen reunion for ex-TV doc Wyle and Spielberg; the Oscar-winning director was one of ER's founding producers. It would also keep Wyle in business with TNT, the network behind his super-fun* Librarian movies.
A TNT spokesperson declined to comment.
Is Wyle the right guy for the role? If not, who's on top of your short list of actors to lead the resistance?
