Jeffrey Tambor Says Rex Is Not Your Lawyer

Source:  The Hollywood Reporter
In a story from The Hollywood Reporter, Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development) is slated to co-star with David Tennant in NBC's hourlong pilot Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.

The show, from Universal Media Studios, follows Rex Alexander (Tennant), a big shot Chicago lawyer who starts "suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court."

Tambor is going to play Rex's psychiatrist. He is a specialist in anxiety disorders but he also suffers from them as well. To compound their relationship he starts a fling with Rex's mother.

David Semel will direct the show from a script by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson.

I hope this show talk alittle about the subject of anxiety disorders, and not just say the character has it and who he is seeing for help. I hope it would have that 5% of teaching about it in the story lines. Because there are people who has that in this world and has to see a psychiatric social worker(in the city and county system, not the private side) from time to time for help. It the psychiatric social worker, who intacts with the psychiatrist, and talk about his or her clients when needed, like taking meds. Only a psychiatrist can write that up not a psychiatric social worker. There are people(not in the field that do that for a living) in this world who don't understand what is anxiety disorders and how it affect a person with it, and how severe it might be on each person, and what it does to a person in making decsion, a judgement call, and would it effect a person's enjoyment when he or she worry about something. So it good to do that little bit of teaching in the storylines, like Young Indiana Jones did that.
