Meanwhile, The Fix starred Robin Tunney (The Mentalist) as Maya Travis, a Los Angeles defense attorney who suffered a devastating defeat when protecting A-list actor Savvy Johnson, played by Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje (Lost) for double murder. Co-written and executive produced by attorney/O.J. Simpson prosecutor Clark, the series premiere in March drew about 4.4 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating.
The cast also includes Adam Rayner, Merrin Dungey, Breckin Meyer, Marc Blucas, Mouzam Makkar, Alex Saxon and Scott Cohen.
