NBC greenlighted the legal dramedy, Rex is Not Your Lawyer, two years ago, but it floundered on a shelf for lack of a star. Then along came a Doctor who nailed the part:
David Tennant, best known as the title character in an obscure sci-fi show from England (Doctor Who), will play the title character, Rex, in NBC's Rex is Not Your Lawyer. The procedural concerns a lawyer who begins having panic attacks and starts coaching would-be clients to represent themselves instead.
Tennant's Doctor Who has been hailed as possibly the best iteration of the Time Lord in the show's near 50-year history. Interestingly, fellow Englishman, Hugh Laurie, was cast as the lead in an obscure American show called House - in which he plays a doctor!
Coincidence? We'll let you decide.
