Paul Adelstein

Paul Adelstein is stepping behind the camera for an upcoming episode of Private Practice, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Alex Kingston to guest-star on Private Practice

Adelstein, who plays Dr. Cooper Freedman on the ABC medical drama, will direct Episode 18, which will feature guest-star and ER alum, Alex Kingston. The episode is slated to air March 31, the same day as the Grey's Anatomy musical episode.

"I'm honored and excited to direct Private Practice," Adelstein tells TVGuide.com "My challenge, of course, will be shepherding some inexperienced actors Taye Diggs, Amy Brenneman, and Tim Daly, and bringing them up to par. I think I'm up to the challenge and will at least give it a try."
