Beau Bridges (Gen. Hank Landry) has been joined by Anne Archer in the Sony Pictures TV cable pilot Family Practice for Lifetime. According to the IMDb, this will be the first time the two actors have worked on a project together, but some Stargate fans might be aware that both Bridges and Archer have Michael Shanks in common as an acting partner (just in case you’re playing “Degrees of Separation” for Stargate stars 😉 ). Shanks starred with Archer in the recent Lifetime movie Judicial Indiscretion.
Here’s the report of Archer’s casting from The Hollywood Reporter:
“[Family] Practice” centers on a woman (Joey Honsa) from South Chicago who becomes entangled with members of the affluent Kinglare family at one of the city’s law firms.
Oscar-nominated Archer will play Helena Kinglare, who has built a formidable pro bono practice after spending much of her adult life raising her children and living in the shadow of her lawyer husband William Kinglare (Beau Bridges).
Archer recurs on two series, as Jennifer Love Hewitt’s mom on CBS’ drama “Ghost Whisperer” and as Danny DeVito’s ex-wife on FX’s comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
She is repped by APA and managed by Erik Kritzer at Kritzer/Levine/Wilkins Entertainment.
