‘The Rainmaker’ Series Casts John Slattery As Iconic John Grisham Character
John Slattery has joined the cast of USA's 'The Rainmaker,' based on the bestselling John Grisham novel and its film adaptation of the same name.
In a series regular role, Slattery will portray one of Grisham’s most iconic characters, Leo F. Drummond, a legendary lion of the courtroom and senior partner at Tinley Britt, the powerful firm that Rudy Baylor is up against. That programming initiative, revealed exclusively by Deadline last fall, involves developing hourlong series at budgets in the $2M-$3M an episode, recognizing the economic realities of basic cable, which has been heavily impacted by cord-cutting and the overall decline in linear viewing. His previous film credits include Ant-Man, The Adjustment Bureau, Iron Man 2, Flags of Our Fathers, Charlie Wilson’s War, The Station Agent and Traffic.
