Oooooh! Tennant's Next Project

Sure, it's on NBC, so it'll stink--or get cancelled quickly. But, you gotta love the idea of David Tennant returning to TV.

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.

Would be interesting to hear him do an American accent...still throws me to watch an interview with him in his native accent after watching him as The Doctor. Can imagine the mental whiplash I'd get if he sounded like a native to the Windy City.
