Dan Fogler, known for his role in The Offer, has been cast as a series regular in USA Network’s upcoming drama series The Rainmaker, adapted from John Grisham’s novel. Showrunner Michael Seitzman, who has been working on the project for six years, leads the Lionsgate and Blumhouse production.
The series follows Rudy Baylor (Milo Callaghan), a recent law school graduate who confronts formidable attorney Leo Drummond (John Slattery) and his law school girlfriend Sarah Plankmore (Madison Iseman). Baylor, alongside his boss (Lana Parrilla) and a quirky paralegal, uncovers two interconnected conspiracies linked to the death of their client’s son.
Fogler will portray Melvin Pritcher, a nurse central to a major conspiracy. Other cast members include P.J. Byrne as Deck Shifflet, a law school graduate with a troubled past, and Robyn Cara as Kelly Riker, a woman in an abusive marriage who befriends Rudy.
The series was greenlit by NBCUniversal in June and will be executive produced by Seitzman, Jason Richman, Grisham, Jason Blum, and David Gernert. Fogler’s notable TV credits include The Offer, The Walking Dead, and The Goldbergs, while his film work includes Fantastic Beasts and Spinning Gold. He is represented by Verve, Rogue Management, Entertainment 360, and Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz.
