Starting tonight on NBC -- Mister Sterling

FROM EMMY-AWARD WINNING WRITER/PRODUCER LAWRENCE O'DONNELL, JR. COMES THIS NEW POLITICAL DRAMA ABOUT A FRESH-FACED SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA BRINGING HIS OWN PERSPECTIVE TO CAPITOL HILL -- When the Senior Senator of California suddenly dies, destiny is thrust upon William Sterling Jr. (Josh Brolin, "Hollow Man," "The Mod Squad") when the state's current governor (guest star Bob Gunton, "The Shawshank Redemption") suddenly offers him an appointment to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacated spot. With the super-charged Jackie Brock (Audra McDonald, "Ragtime") as his chief of staff and the principled, Beltway insider Tommy Doyle (William Russ, "Boy Meets World") as his legislative director, Sterling sets out to shake up the status quo. David Noroña ("Six Feet Under") also stars as Leon, Sterling's resident techno-wiz. James Whitmore, "The Shawshank Redemption" guest stars as former California Govenor, William Sterling, Sr.

Scott Foley is getting back on TV, and if the trailers are anything to judge by he'll be here for a while!

From three-time Emmy-award winning executive producer Richard Appel (“The Simpsons,” “King of the Hill”) comes this footloose legal comedy about a new class of idealistic but all-too-human Assistant United States Attorneys who struggle to make their way in their personal lives while making a difference in the cases they prosecute every day in New York City.

Adam Sullivan (Scott Foley, “Felicity”) is a promising young A.U.S.A. whose intelligence is bound with a gullible nature that presents an uphill battle in his pursuit of both career and romantic success. At work, he must argue cases against Susan Rakoff (Amanda Detmer, “The Majestic”), a beautiful and savvy public defender who regards the A.U.S.A.s as enemies of the people. Adam is also challenged by his reluctant supervisor Geoffrey Laurence (Peter Jacobson, “*61”) and a wide-eyed paralegal Wally (John Ross Bowie, “Road Trip”), whose social ineptitude is matched only by his newfound devotion to Adam. Working alongside Adam as an Assistant U.S. Attorney is Ana Rivera (Ana Ortiz, NBC’s “Kristin”), a former cop with the street experience to compensate for Adam’s occasional naïveté. Also in Adam’s life is his roommate Owen Harper (Eddie McClintock, NBC’s “Stark Raving Mad”), a trusted friend who reminds Adam of the lighter side of life outside the world of federal prosecution.
