Emmy winner Beau Bridges has been tapped to star in Lifetime's drama pilot Family Practice.
Meanwhile, Krista Allen is set to co-star opposite Jack Carpenter in Comedy Central's half-hour pilot Held Up.
Practice, from Sony Pictures TV and Lost co-creator Jeffrey Lieber, centers on a South Philly girl who becomes entangled personally and professionally with the affluent, Kennedyesque family members of one of the city's most prestigious law firms.
Bridges will play the family's patriarch, a brilliant, radical, Machiavellian lawyer who once defended the most controversial clients he could find. He is a peerless legal mind but not so successful as a father and a husband.
Bridges won Emmys for his roles in the telefilms The Second Civil War, Without Warning: The James Brady Story and The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom.
He earned his 11th Emmy nomination this year for his guest-starring role on NBC's My Name Is Earl.
Bridges is repped by CAA.
Held Up, also from Sony Pictures TV, centers on Ray (Carpenter), a bored bank teller whose life changes dramatically when two teams of crazy robbers -- disguised as James Bond, Spider-Man, Batman and The Three Stooges -- hold up his branch.
