LMN Drama/Thriller Pitch: "The Wrong Pool Attendant" (For Shawnee Smith and Ryan McPartlin on Their Birthdays)

[Philip Gipson]

Having recently separated from her husband (David Chokachi) for a recent affair he had, and with their college-aged daughter (Kalen Bull) caught in the middle, a woman (Shawnee Smith) distracts herself by hiring a pool attendant (Ryan McPartlin) who has an unhealthy obsession with isolating women from their loved ones in an attempt to make them his. When his employer discovers this, she's forced to defend all that she holds dear from his madness.

Fox as Shawnee Smith and family's no-nonsense neighbor, Olivia d'Abo, Diane Farr, Adam Huss, and Donnie Wahlberg as Shawnee and David Chokachi's respective best friends, Naveen Andrews as Shawnee and David's marriage counselor, Sarah French as David's unhinged mistress who believes they're "soulmates," Julia Terranova and Kennedy Tucker as siblings and classmates for Kalen Bull, Noah Fearnley as Kalen's caring boyfriend, Tom Everett Scott and Brandy Ledford as local detectives, Karen Strassman as the local neighborhood watcher, and Jesse Bradford as a self-proclaimed "trouble magnet."

What made you pick Shawnee Smith?

It's partly because of her role in the Saw movies.
