ProductionRex Is Not Your Lawyer, from Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun, was first sold to NBC in Spring 2007 (on a "first-look" agreement through BermanBraun) but the production was stalled because of the Writer's Strike. The program was re-considered and then rejected for the 2008 season as well.[6] With new programming executives in charge at NBC, and Barry Schindel from Law & Order on board as showrunner, the show was recommissioned in October 2009.[7]On November 3, 2009, Scottish actor David Tennant, who had recently concluded a run as the lead actor on Doctor Who, was announced as the lead actor in the role of Rex Alexander.[8] Heroes actor Sendhil Ramamurthy was cast as Bruce Sweet, Rex's best friend—an ambitious but good-natured lawyer who was in Rex's shadow until Rex's career switch; Bruce's friendship with Rex becomes complicated when he falls in love with his pal's ex-fiancée, Lindsey Steers (Abigail Spencer). Other cast members in the pilot included Jane Curtin as Rex's mother Ellen, Jeffrey Tambor as Doctor Barry Fineman (originally "Doctor Barry Cohen" in earlier drafts of the script), Lindsey Kraft as Sophia Kraft (Rex's assistant), and Cleo King as Mabel Howard. The pilot was directed by David Semel.[6] The original setting for the comedy-drama script was Chicago, Illinois, but it was changed to Los Angeles, California prior to filming.[9] Production began in late November or early December 2009, and scenes for the pilot were shot in and around Los Angeles, utilizing various streets and businesses in the downtown area including the Hilton Checkers (Hilton Hotels & Resorts) and Los Angeles Center Studios.[9] On December 5, actor Jerry O'Connell was spotted on location and the next day it was announced that O'Connell had replaced Ramamurthy as Bruce.[6] Golf scenes between Tennant and O'Connell were shot in three locations—at the Donald Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verdes, at a driving range in Koreatown, and outdoors on the Los Angeles Center Studio lot—and filming for the pilot was completed a few days before December 25.[9] During the December 2009 filming, on-set rumors indicated that the show could begin filming its regular series episodes within a matter of weeks, pending network approval.[9] At the January 2010 Television Critics Association Press Tour, NBC's Angela Bromstad and Jeff Gaspin said that the pilot would be reviewed by executives and that "Rex" could become either a fast-track program airing in Spring 2010 (to help cover NBC's scheduling nightmare regarding the 2010 Tonight Show conflict) or it could be an early Fall 2010 program.[10] During the early months of 2010, there were at least two test screenings for the pilot in April, one at Universal Parks & Resorts in Orlando, Florida and another at a screening room in Las Vegas, Nevada.[9] However, it was reported on January 24, 2010, that the sets had been dismantled and stored, and the pilot was later passed over for both the Spring and Fall network schedules.[11] In August 2010, Tennant confirmed during an interview at the 2010 Emmys that the show was "truly and sincerely dead"; later that year he spoke candidly about the pilot in several British interviews.[3][4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/08/24/nbc-looking-at-another-twist-on-legal-dramas-with-rex-is-not-you/|title=NBC eyes another twist on legal dramas with Rex Is Not Your Lawyer|date=August 24, 2009|last=Hughes|first=Jason|work=TV Squad|publisher=AOL Television|accessdate=April 25, 2010}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/07/changes-coming-to-rex-is-not-your-lawyer/|title=Changes coming to Rex Is Not Your Lawyer|date=December 7, 2009|last=Sassone|first=Bob|work=TV Squad|publisher=AOL Television|accessdate=April 25, 2010}} 3. ^1 {{cite news| work=The Radio Times | location=London | title=Is there life after Doctor Who? | first=John | last=Naughton | date=2010-10-09}} 4. ^1 {{Cite episode | title=The Graham Norton Show| credits= Presenters: Graham Norton| network = BBC| station= BBC Radio 2| location=London, England| airdate = 2010-10-09}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/rex-is-not-your-lawyer-but-he-is-the-doctor-david-tennant/|title=Rex Is Not Your Lawyer, but he is the Doctor, David Tennant|date=November 3, 2009|last=Hughes|first=Jason|work=TV Squad|publisher=AOL Television|accessdate=April 25, 2010}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i6b990557a161eea83d803c4feff5651c |title=Jerry O'Connell to co-star in NBC pilot|date=December 6, 2009|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|work=The Hollywood Reporter|accessdate=April 25, 2010}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i91e05ffd5e045bf14eff30457839ad5c |title=NBC rules in favor of 'Rex'|date=August 23, 2009|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|work=The Hollywood Reporter|accessdate=April 25, 2010}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://insidetv.aol.com/2009/11/03/david-tennant-to-star-in-rex-is-not-your-lawyer/ |title='Dr. Who' Star Set to Play Lead in NBC 'Rex' Pilot|date=November 3, 2009|last=Paiement|first=Rebecca|work=Inside TV|publisher=AOL Television|accessdate=April 25, 2010}} 9. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003U2RT18|title=Rex Is Not Your TV Show: An Unofficial, Unauthorized look at 'Rex Is Not Your Lawyer'|last=Zambrana|first=M.L.|accessdate=2014-02-01}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/01/24/nbc-delays-rex-is-not-your-lawyer/ |title=Exclusive: "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" DOA at NBC?|date=January 24, 2010|last=Ausiello|first=Michael|work=Entertainment Weekly}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2010/05/chuck-v-flashforward.html|title=NBC cancels 'Law & Order' mothership, 'Chuck' to return, 'Heroes' dead|date=May 14, 2010|last=Ryan|first=Maureen|work=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=May 15, 2010}} External links
