Ed Begley Jr. by Todd Williamson/ WireImage.com
Actor and environmental activist
Ed Begley Jr. is adding another series to his already extensive resume. Begley has joined the new CBS comedy series
Gary Unmarried (née
Project Gary), which focuses on a newly divorced dad (
Jay Mohr) and his calculating ex, Allison (
Paula Marshall).
The
St. Elsewhere alum will play the bright (yet exceptionally arrogant) therapist who attempts to counsel Gary and Allison through their split-up - all the while being engaged to the latter! (Larry Miller played the counselor in the original pilot.)
Begley's recent credits include the pot-fueled
Pineapple Express, hitting theaters this week, and HBO's election drama
Recount. -
