Cheyenne Jackson Signs-On for Lifetime TV Pilot

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Broadway's Cheyenne Jackson (Xanadu, All Shook Up) will join Michael Muhney in lead roles in a new Lifetime drama pilot "Family Practice."

"'Practice,' from Sony Pictures TV, centers on a woman (Joey Honsa) from South Chicago who becomes entangled personally and professionally with the affluent, Kennedy-esque family members of one of the city's law firms, the Kinglares. Muhney and Jackson will play the two Kinglare sons," states the website, "Muhney's character, Kent, is the youngest of the Kinglare clan; trying to escape the family's shadow, he chose to become a public defender. Jackson will play Sebastian, who lives life to the fullest while looking for loopholes to avoid doing actual work."

No further details on casting or estimated air-date were announced.

Jackson recently co-starred in the cinematic docu-drama of the tragic 9/11 events aboard United 93.  Muhney is most recognizable for the role Sheriff Don Lamb opposite Kristen Bell in "Veronica Mars."
