Former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Brian Austin Green will play a gay man in a new comedy pilot from the creators of "Will & Grace."
The untitled CBS project, from David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, is about two friends and writing partners, one straight and one gay (Green), and the women working with them (Jessica Capshaw, Vanessa Lengies). The project is loosely based on Kohan and Mutchnick's friendship.
Green most recently co-starred on ABC's comedy "Freddie." Capshaw has been recurring on Showtime's lesbian drama "The L Word," while Lengies co-starred on Lifetime's "Monarch Cove."
