Tricia Helfer to Work at The Firm

NBC has given men everywhere a reason to tune in to The Firm:

Tricia Helfer - forever beloved for her role on Battlestar Galactica, but who has shown up since on everything from Chuck to Warehouse 13 to Franklin & Bash - has joined the cast of this midseason drama.

The series will star Josh Lucas as Mitch McDeere, the role Tom Cruise portrayed in the movie version of John Grisham's best-seller.

Helfer, meanwhile, will play Alex Clark, the senior partner at Kinross & Clark, the shady firm referenced in the title. Also signed for the drama: Juliette Lewis as Mitch's receptionist and Callum Keith Rennie as Mitch’s brother.

The Firm will likely premiere in January.
