The CBS pilot for Will & Grace creators Max Mutchick and David Kohan’s new project has cast one of the two male leads. Michael Urie, best known for Ugly Betty will be one of the two partners named by the title of the project – the other has yet to be cast.

Deadline had word today that Urie has been tapped for a co-starring role in the pilot. So far the only other casting news for this project has been Sophia Bush in the role of the yet to be cast other partner’s fiance. Bush is coming off the long running CW hit drama One Tree Hill, which is ending it’s run this year after nine seasons on the air.

Urie will play the gay half of the two partners on the pilot who are longtime friends and also business partners. He’s been keeping busy recently with live theater performances; the latest has been a starring role in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying on Broadway. It looks like he’s ready to come back to television though, and this mutil-camera comedy might be his ticket. If it can avoid being derivative and focuses too much on gratuitous gay jokes. I know, gratuitous gay jokes from the people who brought you Will & Grace? It would be truly shocking indeed.

Also on board from the old Will & Grace team is director James Burrows, who has also done some work recently on the new series 2 Broke Girls. I wonder who else will pop by from Will & Grace? What’s Shelley Morrison up to these days?

在《丑女貝蒂》（Ugly Betty）之后，我們很久沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到那個(gè)一身賤氣的小Gay男Marc了，而如今他就要重出江湖了，這一次他還是演Gay。據(jù)國(guó)外媒體報(bào)道，邁克爾·尤瑞（Michael Urie）將回歸熒屏加入CBS新劇《直彎好基友》（Partners）的拍攝。

這部半小時(shí)喜劇講述的是一直一彎（尤瑞 飾演）兩位摯友同時(shí)也是生意伙伴的人生故事，他們的友誼比兩人任何一段戀情都長(zhǎng)。試播集中，當(dāng)直男準(zhǔn)備向女友(索菲亞·布什 飾演)求婚時(shí)，彎男本想表支持，卻差點(diǎn)神經(jīng)質(zhì)般的導(dǎo)致了直男與女友的分手。

《丑女貝蒂》完結(jié)后，邁克爾·尤瑞一直在百老匯忙碌，目前他正在出演曲目How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying，這是《丑女貝蒂》后出演的第一個(gè)常規(guī)角色。該劇由經(jīng)典喜劇《威爾與格蕾絲》（Will & Grace）的幕后黃金搭檔David Kohan和Max Mutchnick聯(lián)手操刀制作，《直彎好基友》能否締造《威爾與格蕾絲》似的成功值得我們期待。?
