ERICA DURANCE AS WONDER WOMAN
|
|
Erica Durance, who played Lois Lane in the Smallville television series, is returning to DC Comics lore -- in a unique way.
In the "Gorilla My Dreams" of NBC's Harry Law scheduled for Jan. 11, Durance plays a character who dresses up as Wonder Woman.
Here's how NBC describes the episode:
"Harry (Kathy Bates) and Tommy (Chris McDonald), in the midst of duck hunting, discover that the owner of the hunting preserve has been covertly housing a gorilla. Swayed by the gorilla's incredible intelligence and gentle demeanor, Harry agrees to help. Meanwhile, Adam (Nate Corddry) and Cassie (Karen Olivo) represent Annie Bilson (Erica Durance), a young lady who seeks vigilante justice against men who abuse women by dressing up as Wonder Woman."
The Wonder Woman costume is the same design worn by Adrienne Palicki in the Wonder Woman pilot that NBC passed on for a series. Both Harry's Law and Wonder Woman come fron Warner Bros. Television and producer David E. Kelley.
Mark Valley, who starred for two seasons on Fox's Human Target, joined the cast of Harry's Law this season.
