Scottish actor David Tennant is making his way into American homes very soon. The actor who is best known for his role as Dr. Who in the famous British sci-fi television show of the same name has won the lead role in the hour long NBC lawyer comedy entitled, 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.
David Semel, who directed the pilots for “Heroes” and “Life,” has come on board to helm the comedic legal drama from Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun.
Sounds like Monk meets Ally Mcbeal!!
After 5 years on Dr. Who, Tennant will step down this year and the role will be taken over by Matt Smith.
I’m very excited to see how this show will turn out with such a brilliant actor on board!

David Tennant is such an awesome actor that I will be certain to tune in to that show. Plus to hear him talk with an american accent should make me squeal with delight!
David Tennant will not be able to carry a show here in America. He is to plain and over the top. Why has it took him so long to be noticed anyway. David Tennant reminds me of the old cartoon Woody Woodpecker. Hair style, big eyes and nose. I think he should stay in theater. He is not a leading man only character actor if he comes to America. I wish him luck but he will be forgotten.
