The project will focus on his attempts to navigate that dichotomy while working for a major law firm in Boston.
Variety reports that Noah Wyle has officially signed on for the lead role in the upcoming CBS drama pilot, Perfect Citizen.
The project will see him take on the role of a former General Counsel to the NSA who finds himself thrust into the public eye after blowing the whistle on a major government scandal.
As a result of this newfound attention, half of the public will consider him a patriot for uncovering a massive government embarrassment, while other people see him as a traitor.
