Archer ("Ghost Whisperer") will play the matriarch, who has built a formidable pro bono practice after spending much of her adult life raising her children and living in the shadow of her lawyer husband (Beau Bridges).

Broadway actor Cheyenne Jackson ("United 93") and Michael Muhney ("Veronica Mars") will play their sons.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Martin Mull has boarded the TNT light drama pilot "Family Man."

William H. Macy stars as an unlikely criminal: a respected father of three, upright citizen and advice-dispensing pillar of his community by day and the leader of a somewhat dysfunctional, bickering gang of burglars by night.

Mull will play his intellectual older brother and supposedly a member of Mensa who used to manage hotels but who now can't hold down a job at Astroburger. His TV credits include "Roseanne," in which he recurred as the titular star's cafeteria boss.
