Popular genre actress Eliza Dushku (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Tru Calling, Dollhouse) is taking a walk on the realistic side of TV drama in her new role as the female lead in TNT‘s Bird Dog.
Created by Mike Robe (Nightmares & Dreamscapes), Bird Dog is about a female cop in a small Pacific Northwestern town who gets unexpectedly teamed up with her father, who’s also a cop, but whom she’s never had anything in common with. Gail McGrath (Dushku) became a cop just like her father, but she’s not prepared when he shows up at her door as her new partner. The series will delve into procedural mystery while exploring the unusual dynamic of this father and daughter partnership.
