Andy Garcia has been cast opposite Katey Sagal in the Disney-owned broadcast network's Erin Brockovich drama pilot 'Rebel'
. That comedy, which is exec produced by Lorne Michaels and was picked up to series last May following its own pilot season journey, was pushed to the 2020-21 television season. It's unclear if Garcia will remain involved in that series, which is being retooled. Thompson was poised to film it last summer — before he returned to, where he remains the longest-tenured performer on the Michaels-created variety show.showrunner Krista Vernoff.
Garcia will play Julian Cruz, the lawyer for whom Rebel consults, although sometimes it seems like it’s the other way around. He is a powerful attorney; sexy, smart and down-to-earth and strong in all the best ways. He was widowed two years before and is still reeling from the loss. Frequently irritated by his most famous employee, Cruz is weary of being guilt-tripped by Rebel into taking on another demanding case. Garcia is repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
Vernoff is writing and exec producing alongside Davis Entertainment's John Davis and John Fox, her husband and Trip the Light producing partner Alexandre Schmitt, Brockovich and Andrew Stearn.
