One of the most promising (and possibly most risky) television series projects in development is ABC's re-imagining of Edgar Allan Poe an an investigator, who solves crimes in 1840s Boston using "unconventional" methods.
The network has now announced its lead for Poe, the series title, and it is Christopher (Chris) Egan, who most recently starred as David Shepherd in NBC's Kings.
A month ago, Inside TV talked to Suzanne Patmore-Gibbs, head of ABC's scripted development division, who had this to say about the character: "Certainly it will be someone with a larger than life personality… hopefully charismatic … and attractive … we’re literal about [Poe's] work, but not about his looks." Seems like Egan fits the bill on all counts!
