Josh Lucas on ‘The Firm’

CO – We usually hear anecdotes about actors researching the profession of their latest character, but Josh Lucas told the Television Critics Association that he served on a jury for a murder trial before taking the role on NBC’s "The Firm." He also said that he embraced Tom Cruise’s portrayal of John Grisham’s lawyer Mitch McDeere, so those were two things I wanted to follow up with Lucas about. Lucas plays Mitch McDeere after10 years in witness protection, when the old firm comes after him again.
