The Practice star Kelli Williams hasn't been as successful after her run on the successful legal drama ended. Her most recent appearances were in less successful television programs such as Medical Investigation and the recently-cancelled Men in Trees. Now, she's been given another role, this time in an upcoming pilot to be aired on Fox.
Williams was cast as the female lead in Lie to Me, a television pilot co-produced by 20th Century Fox and Imagine Productions. The series hopeful marks the debut of veteran British film actor Tim Roth as an American series regular. Here, Roth plays Cal Lightman, a researcher in the field of “deception detection.” Williams plays her colleague, Dr. Gillian Foster, who assists him on his cases. Also cast in the pilot are Brendan Hines (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and Monica Raymund (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit).
