'Doctor Who' star lands 'Rex' pilot
Popular British actor David Tennant, best known for playing the title role in the BBC’s long-running sci-fi series “Doctor Who,” is set to make his American television debut as the title character in NBC’s hourlong pilot “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.”
Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson, “Rex” centers on Rex Alexander (Tennant), a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.
David Semel, who directed the pilots for “Heroes” and “Life,” has come on board to helm the comedic legal drama from Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun. (Link)
…
David on TV regularly! (And in a Chicago accent? hah)
Please make this happen, execs. PLEASE.
Chicago! I’m a fan of all the t.v. here lately. :D
This sounds amazingly lame, but I will give it a shot, because, you know, DAVID.
