The project revolves around three siblings -- identical twin sisters (Nikki Cox, Marissa Jaret Winokur) and a brother (Rapaport) -- who buy one of the sisters (Cox) an extreme makeover and move to Hollywood to capitalize on her newfound good looks.

For Rapaport, the project is in second position to Fox's ailing sitcom "The War at Home." His TV credits include "Boston Public" and a guest role on "Friends."
