David Tennant coming to NBC? Hurray!


The Doctor is IN! David Tennant who played Doctor Who in the famous BBC series, is being tapped to play a laywer on a new series.  Can the Doctor save NBC?  Hey, importing a Brit worked well for Hugh Laurie and House!
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 Tennant also co-starred in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  Plus, David is Scottish, although I doubt we'll get the treat of his native accent.

Watch the beginning of Doctor Who episode Midnight to see this classic Doctor quote:
“Taking a big space truck with a bunch of strangers across a diamond planet called Midnight: What could possibly go wrong?”)
