EXCLUSIVE: British actress Janet Montgomery (Black Swan, Our Idiot Brother) has landed the lead in CBS’ drama pilot Baby Big Shot. The project, from writer Dana Calvo, showrunner Kevin Falls, Sony TV and Jamie Tarses’ Fanfare, is a legal drama centered on Martina (Montgomery), a working-class woman who uses her street smarts to compete with her more polished colleagues at a top New York law firm. Baby Big Shot is a rare drama pilot with a 20something female lead this season that sparked competition among young actresses. Montgomery, repped by UTA, Anonymous and UK’s Hamilton/Hoddell, played E’s assistant Jennie in HBO’s Entourage for the last few seasons and also was a regular on Season 2 of Fox’s Human Target. She is now filming the BBC miniseries Dancing On The Edge.

Janet Montgomery FTW! I’ll be watching!
One of the best scripts this season!
Ha – as if that is saying much!
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer more beautiful person! I am SO DANG EXCITED for her and to see this show! I want a Nielson box by the time this show starts
I have a feeling Janet Montgomery will be about on a much bigger scale in the next few years. Should be interesting.
She’ll be so great in this! Great casting.
Pretty girl and a good script, but god awful title. Hope they change it before it airs.
This lady is pure british gold!!! so stoked for when this airs as its gonna be frickin’ awesome! Janet Montgomery FTW!
She’s such an honest and sincere person. I know she’ll do well.
Sounds like the female version of “Suits.” Hope it’s just as good.
Glad to see Montey again on american network tv, but I’m still pissed the greatest show ever got canceled, Human Target. GL Montey!
Fantastic script and great actress! Can’t wait to see it!
