By Jamie Ruby Next month, TNT will be premiering its new series
Perception. The show stars Eric McCormack as Dr. Daniel Pierce. Although a paranoid schizophrenic, Pierce works as a professor of neuroscience until he is recruited by the FBI to help solve cases using his unique perspective. Even though sometimes delusional, Pierce is able to see patterns and make connections that others miss. This brilliance of course is also his curse as he frequently hallucinates, but he considers some of his hallucinations a gift.
Many fans will know McCormack as Will Truman on
Will & Grace or more recently from his work on
The New Adventures of Old Christine. Beside his new series, Eric will also be starring in the film
Barricade, due out this fall.
I recently got a chance to talk to McCormack about his work on
Perception during a conference call with the digital media.
