Noah Wyle is set to be CBS’ Perfect Citizen as the star of the legal drama pilot hailing from The Good Wife writer/executive producer Craig Turk, our sister site Deadline reports.
The Falling Skies and ER vet will play the former General Counsel for the NSA, who embarks on a new career at a storied Boston law firm after his involvement as a whistleblower in an international scandal. He must then face the reality that while half the country thinks he’s our greatest patriot, the other half thinks he’s a traitor.
The cast of the potential series also includes Lenny Platt (Quantico) as a self-proclaimed “alpha associate” at the firm.
Wyle most recently recurred on the TNT drama The Librarians, on which he also serves as an executive producer.
