Big Shots Summary
Genres: Drama
Created by Jon_Harmon_Feldman (whose previous credits included such worthwhile weeklies as American_Dreams), the semi-serious Big Shots was pigeonholed in the trade press as a "Sex and the City for guys." The series traced the activities of four upscale male friends who regularly commiserated over their lives and careers at a posh country club. The designated "moral center" of the series was James Walker (Michael_Vartan), who'd become CEO of Amerimart Industries by a fluke (his boss had been killed in a freak accident just before James was to have been fired), but who was determined to be a standard bearer of integrity both in and out of the workplace -- and to tactfully ignore the fact that his wife, Stacey (Wendy_Moniz), had been having an affair with his former employer. James' best buds included Brody Johns (Christopher_Titus), senior vice president of Alpha Crisis Management, who had trouble "managing" his contentious spouse, Janelle (Charisma_Carpenter); Karl Mixworthy (Joshua_Malina), chief exec of a huge pharmaceutical conglomerate, tolerably married to Wendy (Amy_Sloan) while having an affair with hyper-possessive Marla (Jessica_Collins); and Duncan Collinsworth (Dylan McDermott), top man at Reveal Cosmetics, who though long divorced somehow found it difficult to resist the sexual charms of his ex-wife, Lisbeth (Paige_Turco), and whose future was jeopardized by an unfortunate one-night stand with a hooker named Dontrelle (Jazzmun), who turned out to be a transsexual. Nor did Duncan's emotional entanglements end there; he also had a lot of trouble relating to his estranged 19-year-old daughter, Cameron (Peyton_List), and seemed oblivious to the fact that he was worshipped by his attractive business associate Katie Graham (Nia_Long). Also in the cast was Francesca_P._Roberts as therapist Dr. Seaver-Filner, who was kept solvent by the repeated visits from the Walkers and the Collinsworths. Big Shots premiered on ABC on September 27, 2007. Hal Erickson, Rovi
