Debuting tonight on Starz, BOSS is a dramatic new series centering on the personal and professional life of a corrupt Chicago mayor faced with a broken marriage, political foes and a degenerative brain disease. Directed by Academy Award-nominated GUS VAN SANT, the pilot introduces cast members KELSEY GRAMMER, CONNIE NIELSEN, MARTIN DONOVAN and KATHLEEN ROBERTSON. Probably best known to television audiences for his comedic roles, this is a return to drama for GRAMMER. At the recent press conference to promote the series, he talked about his reasons for taking the role and why he wanted to come back to TV. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
