Michael Rapaport has inked a development deal with CBS.
Under the pact, he will develop, star in and produce an hourlong project for the network. The project will be produced by Denis Leary and Jim Serpico’s Apostle Pictures, Sony TV and CBS Paramount TV.
The untitled project, to be written by “Basketball Diaries” scribe Bryan Goluboff, is based on an idea Rapaport has tossed around for four years. It revolves around the lives of social workers in New York and is inspired by the experiences of a good friend of Rapaport’s who is a social worker in the Big Apple.
“It will deal with the ups and downs and the goods and bads of what social workers do,” Rapaport said.
