Wilmer Valderrama tries drama in NBC's 'Rem'

14 March 2011 5:53 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Former "That '70s Show" star Wilmer Valderrama will (possibly) return to network TV in NBC's drama pilot "Rem."

Valderrama is one of five actors who have been cast in the pilot, which stars Jason Isaacs ("Brotherhood," "Harry Potter") and was created by Kyle Killen of "Lone Star." The others, Deadline reports, are Steve Harris ("Friday Night Lights," "The Practice"), Laura Allen ("Terriers"), B.D. Wong ("Law & Order: Svu") and Dylan Minnette ("Saving Grace").

The show revolves around Isaacs' character, Mark Britten, a cop who suffers an accident and wakes up to find himself living in two different realities -- and he can't determine which one is actually real. In one of them, his wife died in the accident but his teenage son (Minnette) survived; the circumstances are reversed in the other.

Harris will play Britten's partner in one world and Valderrama his partner in the other. Wong is set at Britten's »

‘Rem’ TV Pilot Script Review

8 March 2011 5:01 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
