Actress Joey Honsa has landed the lead in Lifetime's drama pilot "Family Practice."

The project centers on a Chicago woman who becomes entangled personally and professionally with the affluent, Kennedyesque family members of one of the city's most prestigious law firms.

Beau Bridges will play the family's patriarch, a brilliant, radical, Machiavellian lawyer who once defended the most controversial clients he could find. He is a peerless legal mind but not so successful as a father and a husband.

Karin Anglin will play his workaholic daughter who also is an attorney at the firm.

Honsa and Anglin appeared in the same first-season episode of "Prison Break." Bridges earned his 11th Emmy nomination this year for a guest role on NBC's "My Name Is Earl."
