Madigan Men
International film star Gabriel Byrne ("End of Days," "The Usual Suspects")
comes to television in a new comedy from Golden Globe Award-winning writer Cindy
Chupack ("Sex and the City"), which examines the lives of three generations
of men making their way through the dating world.
Byrne stars as Benjamin Madigan, a handsome, successful and charismatic architect
in New York City. He is single, adorable and available and should be making out like
a bandit with the ladies.
But Benjamin is recently divorced, and after 20 years of being a dutiful husband
and provider, he just hasn't got a clue about dating. He is a member of a rare breed
of men - the sexy man completely oblivious to his own sexiness. While his co-workers
shove him into the dating world, he is full of the most rudimentary questions, like
how soon to call a woman after she gives you her number.
For the answers to these and many other questions, Ben can turn to his 16-year-old
son, Luke (John Hensley), for whom juggling a series of girlfriends couldn't come
more naturally.
In addition, Ben's recently widowed father, Seamus (Roy Dotrice, TV's "Beauty
and the Beast"), has just moved in. Seamus is ornery and speaks his mind, and
with Luke's help, they might just be able to teach Benjamin a thing or two about
dating and women in the 21st century.
From Touchstone Television in association with ATG. Cindy Chupack is executive
producer.
