Lifetime Television Announces Production of the Lifetime Original Movie 'Custody' (Working Title), Starring Rob Morrow ('Numb3rs'), James Denton ('Desperate Housewives') and Kay Panabaker (Warner Bros. 'Nancy Drew')
LOS ANGELES, June 21 -- Lifetime Television has greenlit
the Lifetime Original Movie "Custody" (working title), the poignant story
of a widowed college professor who risks losing custody of his 13-year-old
stepdaughter. Though he has raised her as his own, her biological father
suddenly reappears and wants her back. The telefilm stars Rob Morrow
("Numb3rs") as the stepfather, James Denton ("Desperate Housewives") as the
biological father and Kay Panabaker (Warner Bros. "Nancy Drew") as the
daughter. "Custody" (wt) will premiere in September 2007 on Lifetime
Television.
In "Custody," when Amanda (Panabaker) lost her mother, her stepfather
David (Morrow), a middle-class college professor, raised her as his own. In
an instant, their perfect world is quickly turned upside down when Amanda's
biological father, John Sullivan (Denton), a wealthy entrepreneur, returns
to claim the daughter that he left behind. Unaware that David is not her
biological father, Amanda is both angry and confused when she learns the
truth. John is determined to win Amanda's affection by showing her the
possibility of an affluent lifestyle, as David continues to show her that
being a parent means much more than sharing DNA.
"It's truly unique for us to develop material with not one, but two,
male leads and we are thrilled to have cast two popular television stars
such as James Denton and Rob Morrow," Libby Beers, Senior Vice President,
Original Movies, Lifetime Television. Adding, "This is a compelling story
about an extremely bright young girl torn between two fathers who both love
her and the choices she has to make."
Rob Morrow currently stars as Don Epps on the CBS series "Numb3rs."

on the hit ABC series "Desperate Housewives." His other television credits
include starring roles in "The Pretender," "Philly" and "Threat Matrix."
