Sonnenfeld Drama Takes Shape

NBC’s impending legal drama from Barry Sonnenfeld has beefed up its cast with the addition of Frankie Faison of The Wire and Kurtwood Smith.

Smith will play a character along the lines of his role as the hilariously strict father That ’70s Show as a likable but hard nosed ‘by any means necessary’ attorney.

Faison will move from Police Commissioner on The Wire to a homicide detective investigating the law firm for which Smith works.
