Ryan Phillippe Exits CBS Nick Wootton-Greg Berlanti Drama Pilot

EXCLUSIVE: Under 2 days after Ryan Phillippe dedicated to his first regular series gig, a starring role in CBS’ untitled Nick Wootton-Greg Berlanti drama pilot (formerly Golden Boy), he's departed the project. I hear the parting from the techniques was friendly and happened after doubts on Phillippe’s part he was prepared to purchase the bustle from the network drama series. His decision was simply impacted by his first primetime series experience — he's presently filming a substantial arc round the final season of DirecTV’s Damages, which has given him hands-on tv series production experience. The move mirrors individuals of some other feature actor, Paul Bettany, who also recently dedicated to doing his first pilot, Showtime’s Masters Of Sex, before yanking out. (He was transformed by Michael Sheen). Phillippe happen to be approached about doing network aircraft aircraft pilots every season in the last few years but he'd been reluctant to make it happen until he finally signed on for Golden Boy. The project could keep casting a completely new actor inside the lead role, a cop which has a meteoric rise from officer to detective and ultimately police commissioner.
