Everybody Loves Raymond alum Brad Garrett is set to star opposite Sarah Chalke and Elizabeth Perkins in Claudia Lonow’s ABC comedy pilot How to Live With Your Parents For The Rest Of Your Life. The multi-camera/hybrid comedy, from 20th TV and Imagine, centers on Polly (Chalke), a recently divorced single mom, who moves in with her eccentric mother Elaine (Perkins) and explosive, always in motion stepfather Max (Garrett). Max owns a nightclub and is, as Polly puts it, the world’s most resentful cancer survivor. This is Garrett’s second pilot since the end of Raymond, which earned him 3 Emmy Awards. The previous one, ‘Till Death, went to series, which ran on Fox for 4 seasons. He is with UTA and Management 360.

Former  Sopranos leading man James Gandolfini is set to co-star in Sopranos creator David Chase’s next project,  movie Twylight Zones, which, like the seminal HBO series, is set in New Jersey. It is one of three features Gandlofini will be juggling in the next few months. He is also in final negotiations to join Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close starring Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock and and Cogan’s Trade toplined by Brad Pitt.

The Paramount-produced Twylight Zones is described as a drama about a New Jersey Rock’n'Roll band and the musical renaissance of the 1960s. It centers on Douglas (John Magaro), a socially awkward teen who begins to shine as lead singer in his band, The Twylight Zones. Gandolfini will play his father, an Italian-American who’s totally disgusted by his son’s infatuation with rock music. UPDATE: Also joining the film are Molly Price as Douglas’ mom and actor-comedian Brad Garrett. Read More »
