A few casting changes be-
tween the pilot and broadcast of
a series aren't anything unusual,
but picking up an actor of Gram-
mer's caliber is definitely a win
for the series. The drama focuses
on a young lawyer (Lefevre) who
leads an expert team that re-
opens and re-examines old cases
in an attempt to exonerate inno-
cent people who were wrongfully
convicted.
Grammer's role — the one
played by James in the pilot — is
that of state attorney Gore Bel-
lows, whose tough-on-crime out-
look often has him going head to
head with the scrappy legal
team.
Grammer is best known for his
role as Dr. Frasier Crane in both
"Cheers" and "Frasier," earning
five Emmys for his portrayal. He's
voiced the recurring villain Side-
show Bob in "The Simpsons"
since 1990 and has been in his
share of big-budget blockbusters,
including "Transformers: Age of
Extinction" (2014) and "The Ex-
pendables 3" (2014).
The addition of such an ac-
claimed actor to the cast of
"Proven Innocent" will not
doubt give it a leg up in the com-
petitive TV drama landscape. The
series is in production, with
plans for a mid-season premiere
next year.
Back to his roots: Mark Bur-
nett is returning to the show that
kick-started his career. The fa-
mous television producer is the
man behind some of reality TV's
biggest hits, such as "Survivor,"
"The Apprentice" and "The
Voice," but it all started with
"Eco-Challenge," and he's now
bringing that legendary series
back to television.
"Eco-Challenge" had 10 sea-
sons between 1995 and 2002
and is often credited with paving
the way for reality TV juggernaut
"Survivor." For its return, which is
currently being shopped around
to various networks, Burnett has
tapped one of the world's most
recognizable survivalists to serve
as host and executive producer:
Bear Grylls ("Running Wild with
Bear Grylls).
It's still far too early to know
what, if any, changes will be
made to the new "Eco-Chal-
lenge," but no doubt the basic
format will stay true to its roots.
In the original, dozens of teams,
each composed of two men and
two women, were sent out into
the wilderness to participate in a
300-mile race over rugged and
inhospitable terrain.
The race doesn't stop when
the sun goes down, and the rac-
ers are required to carry out all
waste that they generate — even
the waste that their own bodies
make.
It's a brutal competition that
isn't for the faint of body, and
with Burnett and Grylls teamed
up, it will no doubt be a thrill to
watch.
