Script Vs Screen

A surprisingly hilarious show marking the return to television of two incredibly strong actors - Rob Lowe and Fred Savage. In the Grinder Rob Lowe plays Dean Sanderson, a super-star actor who just finished a long stint as a super-lawyer known as "the Grinder." Rob Lowe's comedy chops go all the way to Wayne's World and in Tommy Boy, with this intentional straight-man character with impeccable comedic timing. But for the most part he has played dramatic roles that included the West Wing, Brothers and Sisters, and Dr. Vegas. More recently Lowe played state auditor Chris Traeger for five seasons on the very funny and much loved Parks and Rec. Together Lowe and Savage are a comedic dynamic duo. With William Devane as their affable lawyer father, Mary Elizabeth Ellis as Stewart's wife, and Hana Hayes and Connor Kalopsis as Stewart's children rounding out the immediate family and cast. And the casting is superb - Mary Ellis and Kevin Arnold... I mean Fred Savage have a genuine relationship that is funny and enjoy
