Michael Ealy has been tapped to star in USA Network’s pilot Common Law, a comedic buddy cop drama from producer Jon Turteltaub. Ealy is the first actor cast in the project, written by Cormac & Marianne Wibberley, which centers on cops Wes Mitchell and Travis Marks (Ealy), partners at LAPD. The problem is Wes, a methodical former lawyer with a passion for cars, gardening and his ex-wife, and Travis, a maverick ladies’ man who served time in juvie, can’t stand each other. To revive their flagging professional relationship, their Captain sends them to couples therapy. CBS TV Studios and Turteltaub’s Junction Entertainment are producing with Cormac & Marianne Wibberley and Turteltaub executive producing. Sleeper Cell alum Ealy, repped by Gersh and manager Darryl Taja, most recently had a role on ABC’s FlashForward and next co-stars in Screen Gems’ Takers. Lifting the Common Law’s cast-contingency hinges on casting both leads.

Way to go. Ealy is an amazing actor and USA is the place to be!!
Guy is a star. Women love him. My wife asked me for permission to sleep with him, if she had a chance. LOL! He was phenomenal in “Sleeper Cell” (I think he got nominated for a Golden Globe), but this should be a great show. Good to see they are not putting some shitty rapper who can’t act in the role… kudos to USA.
He’s a great actor, so that should help compensate for the Wibberley’s blandness.
Um, yes please!
Showtime messed up on sleepercell. It great to see ealy back as a regular on tv series. After the cluster F that Flashfoward turn out to be.
Wow, never seen a black person with blue eyes. Gorgeous!
Ealy is a good television actor. Not much range beyond the eyes and the good looks…this should be a nice to get out of the Screen Gem crap he is in which for some reason happen to be the only films he can get
ou don’t know what fuck you are talking about idiot! He was in Will Smith’s “Seven Pounds”for big Sony; “Miracle At St. Anna” for Disney; “Their Eyes Were Watching God” for Oprah, opposite an Oscar winner; was nominated for a Golden Globe for “Sleeper Cell” and countless others. He’s only been in one Screen Gems movie dumbass!
You should shut the fuck up if you don’t know what you’re talking about!
did he not just get cast in a major role in the good wife?
great actor. he’s a star. good choice from usa networks. i’ll definitely watch this show.
This is awesome casting. Thank you USA!!!!
Ealy’s a treat but do we need another buddy cop thing? “Methodical” and “Maverick”? I am all for recycling but really…..
USA will take down Turner once and for all!!!
why do people get so hostile and vulgar? Anger management is called for.
