Doctor Who Turns To Law TV Series - Tuesday November 3, 2009David Tennant to play Chicago litigator in Rex Is Not Your LawyerStill warm from filming his exit episode of Doctor Who , David Tennant has moved stateside - landing a starring role in legal drama pilot Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.
Tennant will play a prestigious Chicago litigator in the hour-long show for NBC, marking his debut on US TV screens
The Scotsman is best known for the playing the titular Timelord in BBCs rejuvinated sci-fi show, but has filled the gaps between series with stints on the stage, most notably in Shakespeare's Hamlet earlier this year.
Rex is written by Andrew Leeds of and David Lampson, and follows legal eagle Rex Alexander (Tennant), whose career is threatened when he begins suffering panic attacks. In a unique course of action, Rex coaches his clients to represent themselves in court so he doesn't have to.
Renowned pilot helmer David Semel, who did the honours for both Heroes and Damian Lewis starrer Life, is set to direct the blackly comic legal drama which should be due on screens in the new year.
So, do you wish Tennant was your lawyer? Or do you prefer him hurtling through time than charging for it?
