Potter to star in TNT drama pilot

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Monica Potter has signed on to star in TNT's drama pilot "Truth in Advertising," the Hollywood Reporter said Thursday.

Potter has starred in the films "Along Came a Spider," "Patch Adams" and "Con Air" and was a regular on the ABC series "Boston Legal."

Her latest project is set in a high-profile, fiercely competitive advertising agency.

Potter will play Sarah Krajicek-Hunter, a recently divorced, award-winning copywriter who is a new addition at the agency, the trade paper said.

Already cast in the pilot are "Will & Grace" star Eric McCormack and "Ed" veteran Tom Cavanagh.

The project is to begin shooting this month.
