In Plain Sight series coming to USA Network
If you’ve always been interested in how the Witness Protection Program works, the new USA Network original series “In Plain Sight” debuting on June 8 may give you a look at the world that we often don’t hear about.
Mary McCormack (“The West Wing,” “Private Parts”) stars as Mary Shannon, a U.S. Marshal working in the secretive branch of the witness protection program who relocates federal witnesses.
“In Plain Sight” also stars Frederick Wellers (“Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” “The Shape of Things” as her partner and best friend, whose name happens to be Marshall, her mother Jinx (Lesley Ann Warren), Nichole Hiltz as her younger sister, Paul Ben-Victor, her boss; Cristian de la Fuente as her on-and-off again boyfriend; and Todd Williams as the local police detective she often tangles with.
What I like about the preview of this show is that it’s a lot of drama about the witness protection program, but it also is funny and quirky, because her personal life is always chaotic.
