Eric McCormack, the star of “Will & Grace,” has been hired in a starring role in ABC’s untitled pilot from Tad Quill, the Hollywood Reporter says. McCormack is currently a lead in TNT’s “Trust Me,” which is not expected to be renewed, the trade paper says. In other ABC casting news, “Pulling” has tapped Lindsay Sloane, Mary Elizabeth Ellis and Charlie Finn as leads, while “The Bridget Show” has hired Holly Robinson Peete and Josh Braaten, the Reporter says.

Interesting that Trust Me is “not expected” to be renewed. It doesn’t surprise me, but talk about a death knoll, can’t blame Eric for wanting to stay employed, but obviously even the star of the show has given up on it. Too bad TV never seems to give a new series the time to find itself.
