Debbie Schipp, The Daily Telegraph, reports
Lincoln Lewis is the latest Australian actor
to have trumps at pilot season in Hollywood, landing a role alongside former
Flashdance star Jennifer Beals in ABC pilot Venice.
Lewis will play Shealy Carver, the son of Lisa Carver (Jennifer Beals)
in Venice, pitched as a ‘Romeo & Juliet-esque’ style drama about the
have-nots of California’s most seductive city, Venice.
The show is centred on two rival families, the Nances and the Carvers,
and a forbidden and dangerous romance emerging between them as the families
battle for control of Venice.
Lewis’ Shealy is bitterly upset that his brother Chris jeopardised the
family by spending six years in prison, and is stewing with poorly suppressed
anger when Chris is welcomed home with open arms.
“It’s a brilliant character. He’s dark and he’s bitter, and there are a
lot of layers,” an excited Lewis said from LA yesterday, hours after finding
out he had scored the role.
