Following some pretty intense final negotiations, Eric McCormack has closed a deal to return to TNT as the star of the network’s pilot Perception. The Will & Grace alum will play the lead in the project, Dr. Geoffrey Pierce, an eccentric, frequently erratic and absolutely brilliant neuroscientist who helps the FBI solve complex cases. Kenneth Biller and Mike Sussman co-wrote the pilot, which is produced by ABC Studios. McCormack will serve as producer. At TNT, McCormack previously toplined ad agency drama Trust Me.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

“…brilliant neuroscientist who helps the FBI solve complex cases.” The involve going into dream within dreams within dreams within dream etc. Perception sounds like Inception or is that just me?
Is that the actual premise or the show as you imagine it?
The character sounds like every character on television who deals with crime right now.
congrats to Eric, couldn’t pick a nicer guy with class!
I believe this show already exists. It’s called “Fringe.”
It’s Official I’m…zzzzzzzzzzzz….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
it’s a great script but now I have no interest in watching it.
Too funny. In McCormack’s last one-season hit (Trust Me) his character was described as “brilliant but irresponsible”. This time it’s “brilliant but eccentric”. Please. At least give us a believable actor for the lead role.
