She is an experienced legal secretary with more than two decades of experience. Like Donna (Sarah Rafferty), she isn't afraid to tell it like it is, but unlike Donna, she promises to bring a fresh perspective to the firm.
FOX's MINORITY REPORT
  • Nick Zano (One Big Happy, Happy Endings) has joined the cast of the upcoming drama as a series regular. He will play Arthur, originally designed as a duel role for leading man Stark Sands which is now being split. Arthur is Dash's (Sands) fraternal twin brother who has a hard shell borne of years of difficult experiences in the outside world that Dash avoided. Arthur is confident and self-assured, even Machiavellian in his interaction with the world that once exploited him. He uses his gift to consolidate personal wealth and power in the building of an empire. Stronger together as a complete unit, they help one another from time to time, but in the long run both are bad for each other's business.
