Ben Lawson, star of ABC’s short-lived legal dramedy The Deep End, is staying on the legal dramedy beat with a starring role in the USA pilot Wild Card. The project, from Fox TV Studios, is about people behaving badly at night in Las Vegas and two very different lawyers, Will Garratt (Lawson) and Eliza Evans who who solve their problems before morning. Australian-born Lawson, repped by WME, will next be seen in the romantic comedy No Strings Attached, which opens next week.

Wow he looks exciting. If the show doesn’t make it, maybe he can do my taxes or be an assistant manager at a grocery store.
Seriously. This is a person, with feelings. Why feel the need to make such a douchey comment? At least he’s getting work, Jessica. Yeesh.
Hey Adam, your therapist called…he said for you to grow a pair.
Sounds like an instant cancel…
Good guy, but how many mismatched lawyer shows are there going to be? Sounds like The Defenders (CBS) and Franklin & Bash (TNT).
Agreed…no charisma there… not to mention stupid concept.Reality TV has the market already on stupid people behaving badly…what is really needed is a show about stupid executives that order this garbage. The real question is ? What’s the politics behind this one?
Ben is a great guy and a great actor. I’m very glad to see this.
He is a star! Was amazing in Neighbours and great on The Deep End and he is super handoem leading man.
Not the best picture but he is super hot.
Love him- he is super talented and will break out from this. Was on NEIGHBOURS in Australia and did The Deep End for ABC.
Ben Lawson is unbelievably sexy, and he was the only standout on the awful ABC show, “The Deep End”. And, he is one of those Australian actors that got their start on the t.v. show ,”Neighbors”. Seriously, Australian & New Zealand actors & actresses are taking over Hollywood. They performers have the looks, screen presence, sexiness, charisma, complexity, intelligence, and the great work ethic.

Interesting to hear judgement on a one line pitch. Apparently the script is brilliant. Ben Lawson is destined to be huge, he’s hot AND funny. What more does one want?! Hope this goes well for him.
Worst pic of Ben. Loved him in THE DEEP END & way more exciting than that. Happy he has his own show.
It appears that all one has to do to be cast in a lead role on American tv these days is be from Australia or England. I don’t get it….
How many dumb lawyer shows do they need on USA? This sounds gimmicky, sleazy, and boring. Old news.
