Michael Trucco Lands Lead Role in Sitcom
Starbuck’s husband is getting his own show. Michael Trucco, who plays Samuel Anders on Battlestar Galactica, is slated to star in a sitcom entitled Man of Your Dreams which may be on television next fall if the writer’s strike is resolved relatively quickly.
Michael will put his good looks to good use playing a womanizer on the show, who uses his trashy ways with women to give other women advice about their love lives. No word yet on who Michael’s female cast members will be or what kind of roles they will be playing.
The sitcom is being developed by executive producer Conan O’ Brien and many of the people who have worked on his show and the short-lived Andy Barker, P.I. If all goes well it will be shown on NBC, which is part of the same Universal family that is home to the SciFi Channel and BSG.
Before joining the cast of BSG Michael was on the teen oriented soap One Tree Hill and had guest starring roles on shows such as Sabrina, The Teenage Witch.
Production is slated to being as soon as the writer’s strike ends, but right now the timing of that is anyone’s guess. Man of Your Dreams is supposedly writer-intensive, so changes are not good that anything will happen before then. That is good news for fans who are worried about this taking Michael away from BSG or ruining our chances to find out more about his newly revealed Cylon side, although since the two shows are run by the same studio everyone involved has promised to be considerate of Michael’s schedule.
