David E. Kelley spoke with Deadline about Presumed Innocent, his knack for adapting books and his advice for his younger self
On a humid Friday afternoon in Austin, Texas, an audience is treated to the first episode of Presumed Innocent before creator David E. Kelley is bestowed with ATX TV Festival’s inaugural Showrunner Award. In a few moments, Kelley will step on stage to receive his award and discuss his lengthy and illustrious television career, which spans nearly four decades and includes the likes of L.A. Law, Doogie Howser, M.D., Ally McBeal, The Practice, Big Little Lies, The Lincoln Lawyer, and Nine Perfect Strangers. But first, he smirks as he watches Gyllenhaal go toe-to-toe with Peter Sarsgaard’s Tommy Molto in the final moments of the episode, when Rusty is confronted about his affair with Carolyn, much to the surprise of the former district attorney Raymond Horgan (played by Bill Camp), who is now defending him.
