LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Australian actress Rose Byrne has been cast opposite Glenn Close in the new unnamed FX legal drama.
Also cast in the drama are "The O.C." veteran Tate Donovan and Zeljko Ivanek from "24," Zap2it.com reported Friday.
The pilot stars Close, who, in 2005, earned an Emmy nomination for her work on FX's "The Shield," as a high-powered attorney. Byrne will play the role of a graduate fresh out of law school who lands a job working for Close's character, Patty Hughes.
"The chemistry between her and Glenn was phenomenal from the moment they got together," co-creator Todd A. Kessler told The Hollywood Reporter.
Donovan is set to act in the role of a senior attorney in the firm while Ivanek will play an experienced lawyer who's her opposing counsel in a high-profile case.
Byrne's big screen credits include, "Troy" and "The Dead Girl," which opens in limited theaters next week.
