TVline.com reports that Kristoffer Polaha has just joined the cast of CBS's upcoming drama MADE IN JERSEY as a series regular. The actor is best known for his role as 'Henry' in The CW's mystery series 'Ringer.'
MADE IN JERSEY is a drama about a young working-class woman who uses her street smarts to compete among her pedigreed Manhattan colleagues at a prestigious New York law firM. Martina Garretti (Janet Montgomery) finds her firm's cutthroat landscape challenging, but what she lacks in an Ivy League education she more than makes up for with tenacity and blue-collar insight. After just a few weeks, firm founder Donovan Stark (Kyle MacLachlan), takes note of Martina's ingenuity and resourcefulness, as does her sassy secretary Cyndi Vega (Toni Trucks).
With the support of her big Italian family, including her sexy older sister Bonnie (Erin Cummings), Martina is able to stay true to her roots as a bold, passionate lawyer on the rise in a new intimidating environment. Jamie Tarses, Kevin Falls, Julia Franz and Mark Waters, who also directed the pilot, are the executive producers for Sony Pictures Television in association with CBS Television Studios. Pilot was written by creator and co-executive producer Dana Calvo.
Polaha's other TV credits include The CW’s Life Unexpected, Valentine and Judy Greer’s Miss Guided and Mad Men.
MADE IN JERSEY will air Fridays at 9/8c on CBS.
