Dan Byrd
Another member of Cougar Town's cul-de-sac crew may fly the coop.
Dan Byrd, who plays Courteney Cox's son on the ABC comedy, has signed on to star in Louis C.K.'s untitled CBS comedy, Deadline reports.
The pilot tells the story of a group of young people trying to follow their creative dreams despite the tough current economic climate. Byrd will play Fred, a smart film editor who serves as a sardonic observer of other people and their weaknesses.
