I love this shoot......the two, Melissa Sagemiller and Teddy Sears are "up and coming" actors. They look great wearing some of the latest looks. Read on for more about this pair.

Steven Bochco’s hot new legal drama on TNT examines the justice system from all angles—public defender’s desk, DA’s office and behind the bench—with the help of a powerhouse ensemble that includes Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Saved By The Bell), Gloria Reuben (ER) and Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle) alongside gifted newcomers Melissa Sagemiller and Teddy Sears, two DC-area natives.
Sagemiller comes from a supportive, politically active family and shines as prosecutor Michelle Ernhardt, a role she wouldn’t have imagined landing. “I never thought I’d be playing a hard-edged DA,” she says. “I had been in the pilot of the show Life, as a lawyer, and some execs said, ‘She’s too young and pretty,’ and they didn’t buy me. So it’s a little vindication for me that I got this part.” Following studies at the University of Virginia and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York, Sagemiller worked at Christie’s and Viacom before diving headlong into acting at her mother’s urging. She went on to star in the Golden Globe-nominated series Sleeper Cell as well as Mr. Woodcock, The Guardian and Standing Still before joining the Raising the Bar cast.
Meanwhile, Sears, originally from Chevy Chase, portrays Richard Woolsley, a privileged guy who forgoes a cushy job at his father’s law firm to become a legal defender. “For a long time, my bread and butter were the preppy A-hole roles, or the handsome guy who ends up being a total douche,” says Sears. “Now I get to play a character who is sincere and wellliked and passionate.” An avid athlete (with the body to show for it), Sears regularly surfs, plays volleyball and participates in triathlons in his new home, Manhattan Beach, California, though he still holds Washington in the highest regard. “DC will always be home,” he insists. “My grandparents, on both sides, raised my parents in DC, who met and stayed there. It’s family to me.”
Without knowing it, Sagemiller and Sears lived parallel lives before they met on set. “We hung out one day and started realizing all these similarities,” Sagemiller says. “We’re both from DC. He went to Landon, I went to Georgetown Day School. We both went to the University of Virginia and even lived in the same apartment building in college!” (Capitol File magazine)
