Ulrich will play Dr. Raines, described as unshaven and disheveled, something of a maverick FBI Criminal Psychiatrist who specializes in interrogation as to the reasons people commit acts of extreme violence. The pilot follows Raines as he partners with a young female detective with whom he shares a conflicted past.

Gordon, Gansa and Cary are writing as well as executive producing the pilot, which is being produced by Teakwood Lane in association with 20th Century Fox Television.

Ulrich's most recent regular TV gig was a run on "Law & Order: LA" from 2010-2011.
