TNT Press Release
America's Favorite Quirky Crime-Solver Returns June 25
In an All-New Season of Perception,
Starring Eric McCormack
Class is back in session, and crime is on the as TNT's hit drama Perception returns for its second mind-bending season. Starring Emmy® and Screen Actors Guild Award® winner Eric McCormack (Will & Grace, Who Is Clark Rockefeller?), Perception ranked as cable's second-highest rated new drama of 2012, coming in just behind TNT's Major Crimes. The second season is slated to launch Tuesday, June 25, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), following the season premiere of TNT's hit series Rizzoli & Isles.
In Perception, McCormack plays Dr. Daniel Pierce, a unique and eccentric neuroscience professor whose paranoid schizophrenia helps him solve crimes for the FBI. Rachael Leigh Cook (She's All That) co-stars as FBI agent and former student Kate Moretti, who recruits Pierce to help her with her toughest cases. Unlike her colleagues, Kate is willing to look past Daniel's peculiarities.
As the second season of Perception opens, Pierce's personal life is even more complicated than usual. He finds it difficult to walk away from his imaginary friendship with Natalie Vincent, but he must do so in order to embark on a romance with his doctor, Caroline Newsome – both played by Kelly Rowan (The O.C.). Award-winning actor LeVar Burton (Roots, Star Trek: The Next Generation) returns in season two as Pierce's best friend, Paul Haley, who serves as dean at the university. Perception also stars Arjay Smith (The Day After Tomorrow) as Max Lewicki, Pierce's teaching assistant whose primary job is to keep Pierce in line and on task.
In season two, Scott Wolf (Party of Five, V, Everwood) guest-stars as Donnie, Kate's soon-to-be ex-husband – and colleague. A charismatic, fast-rising Assistant U.S. Attorney who recently transferred back to Chicago, Donnie seems less concerned with doing what's right than with doing what's right for Donnie. While he claims his transfer back to Chicago was completely random, it's clear he has a hidden agenda involving Kate.
Perception averaged 6.2 million viewers in its first season, ranking as cable's #2 new series of 2012. It also placed among basic cable's Top 10 new or returning original series.
Perception, which comes to TNT from ABC Studios, was created by executive producer Ken Biller (Star Trek: Voyager, Smallville) and co-executive producer Mike Sussman (Star Trek: Enterprise), with McCormack serving as producer.

LeVar Burton
Dean Paul Haley
The multi-talented LeVar Burton has been capturing the attention of audiences and peers for over two decades, and has catapulted to a new level within the industry. Whether acting, directing, producing or writing, LeVar proves he can do it all. This spring he launches the Reading Rainbow App through Apple and brings one of the most cherished and revered children’s programs of all time into the millennium.
Currently, he is co-starring in the animated cartoon, Transformer and Rescue Bots. He recently played himself on the hugely popular CBS Series The Big Bang Theory and guest starred on NBC’s Community.
LeVar’s first career choice was not in the field of entertainment. At the age of thirteen he entered a Catholic Seminary to study for the priesthood. For him, being a priest would fulfill his need to express himself spiritually and to be of service to his community. However, four years later, he decided that an acting career would better fill those needs, so he left the seminary and accepted a full academic scholarship to the University of Southern California to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
LeVar’s first professional audition, at the age of nineteen, led to his being cast as Kunta Kinte in the acclaimed miniseries Roots. The phenomenal success of Roots launched his career as an actor, and earned him an Emmy nomination for Best Lead Actor in a Mini Series. What followed were starring roles in a string of television movies, including Dummy, Grambling’s White Tiger, The Guyana Tragedy and The Ron Leflore Story. Among his early feature film credits are Looking For Mr. Goodbar and The Hunter, with Steve McQueen.
LeVar is internationally known for his portrayal of Lt. Commander Geordi LaForge in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. He starred in the box office hits Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, Star Trek: Generations, and recently co-starred in the fourth feature film in the series, Star Trek: Nemesis.
LeVar has directed numerous episodes of all four Star Trek series. His first dramatic television movie, The Tiger Woods Story, which he directed for Showtime, received great critical acclaim as well as three Emmy nominations. He also directed the Disney Channel original film Smart House. LeVar’s production company, Integrity Entertainment, is developing a variety of projects in both television and feature film arenas.
LeVar’s first honor of the new millennium was a Grammy Award for his narration of the book, The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr. Included in the titles LeVar has recorded on tape are The Watsons Go to the Birmingham, The Miles Davis Story and The Jackie Robinson Story.
He is currently celebrating his twentieth season as host and executive producer of the highly acclaimed PBS children’s television series Reading Rainbow. Thus far, his role in producing and starring in the series has garnered him a total of ten Emmy Awards, five NAACP Awards and multiple nominations. He is most proud of Reading Rainbow’s ability to use the medium of television to help create “human beings who are passionate about literature”. As a staunch advocate for children’s literacy, LeVar is frequently called upon to lecture on the subject by organizations around the world.
LeVar made his debut as an author in 1997 with his novel Aftermath. This science fiction thriller from Warner Books takes place in the year 2019 and chronicles the efforts of four individuals who are struggling to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of a race war that all but destroys America. With phenomenal reviews from critics and colleagues, Aftermath is still in bookstores nationwide.
LeVar is currently national co-chair with First Lady Laura Bush of PBS’s literacy campaign, Share-A-Story.
The Characters
Dr. Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack) is an eccentric professor of neuroscience struggling with schizophrenia. Because his intimate knowledge of human behavior and masterful understanding of the mind give him an extraordinary ability to read people, he is frequently recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Pierce has an uncanny gift that makes him able to see patterns and look past people’s conscious motives to find what lies beneath. But Pierce’s schizophrenic hallucinations and less-than-stellar social skills often complicate his work. While his hallucinations sometimes reveal solutions his conscious mind hasn’t yet been able to process yet, his offbeat manner makes it difficult to forge the close friendships and intimate relationships he craves.
FBI Agent Kate Moretti (Rachael Leigh Cook) is Pierce’s former student and the person responsible for recruiting him as a consultant to the FBI. Her sharp mind and intuition made her one of Pierce’s star pupils. Now she uses those skills to solve crimes, and Moretti looks to Pierce for help with solving difficult cases involving psychiatric or neurological components. This season, Pierce and Moretti's mutual attraction causes friction between Moretti and the Assistant US Attorney – who also happens to be her soon-to-be ex-husband (guest star Scott Wolf).
Max Lewicki (Arjay Smith) is Pierce’s teaching assistant whose primary job is to keep Pierce in line and on task, in the classroom and at home. Lewicki handles Pierce’s demanding schedule and takes care of his domestic demands. More importantly, he keeps Pierce centered and stable, alerting him when his intuitions are off-base or when he seems to have trouble distinguishing reality from hallucination. Although Lewicki likes and respects for Pierce, he begins to question whether his employer is holding him back from achieving his own career goals.
Natalie Vincent (Kelly Rowan) is Pierce’s hallucinatory best friend and every bit his intellectual equal. According to Pierce's recollection, they met in grad school and although they dated briefly they have remained close platonic friends ever since. When Pierce meets Natalie's real-world counterpart, Dr. Caroline Newsome (also played by Rowan), the imaginary relationship he's always known becomes very real. But the line between reality and fantasy continues to blur as Pierce juggles relationships with the two identical characters.
Paul Haley (LeVar Burton) is Dean of the Faculty, making him Pierce's boss, but they have also been best friends for over twenty years. While he has tremendous respect for Pierce’s brilliant mind and academic prowess, Haley’s responsibilities to the university often leave him torn between doing his job and protecting his friend.

TNT Press Release
America's Toughest Crime-Solving Duo Returns June 25 in the Fourth Season of TNT’s Hit Series Rizzoli & Isles, Starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander
This summer, television's hottest crime-solving duo is back with more drama and suspense than ever as TNT’s Rizzoli & Isles returns for its fourth unforgettable season. Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander star in the chart-busting series that averaged more than 7.5 million viewers last year, making it one of basic cable's Top 3 series of 2012. Season four of TNT's Rizzoli & Isles is set to launch Tuesday, June 25, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).
Based on characters created by best-selling crime novelist Tess Gerritsen and developed for television by Janet Tamaro, Rizzoli & Isles stars Harmon as Jane Rizzoli, a tough-as-nails Boston police detective, and Alexander as Maura Isles, a smart, impeccably dressed medical examiner from a privileged background. Despite being complete opposites, the two women share an offbeat chemistry, an authentic and deep friendship and a unique working relationship that together, helps them to solve the most complex murder mysteries in the city of Boston.
Rizzoli & Isles also stars Lorraine Bracco as Angela, Jane's meddling mother; Lee Thompson Young as Detective Barry Frost, Jane's squeamish, computer-savvy partner; Bruce McGill as Sgt. Detective Vince Korsak, Jane’s steady old-school Homicide Squad teammate; Jordan Bridges as Jane’s brother, Frankie Jr., who recently achieved his dream of becoming a detective; and Brian Goodman as Lt. Detective Sean Cavanaugh, the head of the Boston Police Detective department.
As Rizzoli & Isles' third season came to an end, Jane tried to convince Casey (guest star Chris Vance) not to go through with a potentially life threatening surgery. Maura decided to anonymously donate her kidney to save a half-sister she barely knows, Cailin, (guest star Emilee Wallace). Meanwhile Tommy (guest star Colin Egglesfield) and Det. Barry Frost are trapped during a building collapse.
This summer, Jane and Maura help each other through more family troubles as they investigate complex and troublesome cases, including a deadly shooting of a state senator, the brutal killing of an young and earnest journalism student and the pending murder trial of Maura's mob-boss father, Paddy Doyle (guest star John Doman).
Rizzoli & Isles comes to TNT from Warner Horizon Television and is executive-produced by Janet Tamaro of Hurdler Productions and Bill Haber of Ostar Productions.

Brian Goodman
Lt. Detective Sean Cavanaugh
After hitting the streets at age 12, Brian Goodman did whatever he could to survive as one of South Boston’s homeless. An altercation landed him in prison from 1989-1994. He was twice paroled, both of which he violated. One thing that kept him going was the idea he could be an actor. At age 8, he saw the TV movie Brian’s Song and just knew this was something he could do. While in prison, watching a lot of television and movies, he commented to a fellow prisoner, “I’m going to be an actor someday.” After serving his time, he heard about a casting call for a film being shot in Boston. He went in for an audition and was given his first role in Southie, a drama about a South Boston gang starring Donnie Wahlberg.
Parole regulations stipulated he could not leave the state of Massachusetts, so he took it as a divine sign when his next two auditions turned out to be in Boston and garnered him speaking roles in the feature films Snitch (a.k.a. Monument Avenue), directed by the late Ted Demme; and In Dreams, helmed by Neil Jordan.
After completing the terms of his parole, Goodman moved to Los Angeles in 1998 and pursued his acting career, initially playing a lot of golf and gambling. Eventually his fortunes turned, and he landed the role of a “suit-and-tie business-type guy” who kidnaps Jeff Bridges’s character in the film Scenes of the Crime. He also served as technical advisor on the picture. This brought him to the attention of producer Rod Lurie who championed him for a role in his prison drama The Last Castle, starring Robert Redford. Goodman’s prison experience came into play once again through his portrayal of the character Beaupre.
His other features include Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, Ted Demme's Blow, The Black Rose, Just One Night and the short film Orphan. His television credits include appearances on Boomtown and Thieves.
Goodman’s favorite role is that of being a dad to his sons, Mark and Brian. He works out and enjoys a variety of sports as participant and viewer: tennis, basketball, golf, softball and ice hockey. He resides in Los Angeles.
