LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning actor Robin Williams is to star in the pilot for an American workplace comedy series created by David E. Kelley for CBS, EW.com reported Monday.

The single-camera comedy is called "Crazy Ones," and will follow a father and daughter who work together in an advertising office.

CBS is expected to announce in May whether it will order the pilot to series, EW.com said.

Williams' film credits include "Good Morning, Vietnam," "Dead Poets Society," "Awakenings," "The Birdcage," "Good Will Hunting," "RV" and "Happy Feet." He also starred in the TV sitcom "Mork & Mindy," which ran from 1978 to 1982.
