QUICK TAKE

LEGENDARY FILM AND TELEVISION ACTOR ROBERT WAGNER TO GUEST STAR ON ABC�S �BOSTON LEGAL�

Legendary actor Robert Wagner will guest-star in the two-hour Season Finale of �Boston Legal,� TUESDAY, MAY 16 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Wagner will play Ashley Goldman, the Senior Partner in the Los Angeles-based office of Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Tanned, manicured and relaxed, Ashley is a powerful and cagey attorney with the panache and style of old-school Hollywood. He is as highly connected on the West Coast as Denny Crane is on the East Coast and, like Crane, is no stranger to the spotlight.

An actor with countless credits to his name, Wagner can be seen in �Hoot,� a soon-to-be released film from New Line Cinema.

Led by an Emmy Award-winning cast, �Boston Legal� tells the professional and personal stories of a group of brilliant but often emotionally challenged attorneys. Fast-paced and darkly comedic, the series confronts social and moral issues, while its characters continually stretch the boundaries of the law.

Boston Legal� stars James Spader as Alan Shore, Julie Bowen as Denise Bauer, Mark Valley as Brad Chase, Rene Auberjonois as Paul Lewiston, with Candice Bergen as Shirley Schmidt and William Shatner as Denny Crane.

�Boston Legal� was created by David E. Kelley. Kelley, Bill D�Elia and Janet Leahy are executive producers. The series is produced by David E. Kelley Productions in association with Twentieth Century Fox Television.
