Former 24 star clocks into medical drama

Former “Grey’s Anatomy” star Kim Raver will headline the ABC drama pilot “The Advocate”.

From Sheldon Turner and Jennifer Klein’s Vendetta Prods. and Warner Bros TV, the project is inspired by a real life talent agent who teamed with a doctor to setup a healthcare consulting and case management company.

Says Deadline, “It centers on Francis “Frankie” Reese (Raver), a tough, resourceful, type-A businesswoman at the top of her game who has a medical scare, only to be dangerously misdiagnosed, and experiences firsthand the hazards of our healthcare system. Shocking her friends and family, she leaves her career behind, becoming instead a brilliant and relentless advocate for anyone caught in the chaotic and ever-changing maze that is modern medicine.”

Raver was last seen in “24 : Live Another Day”.
