A CONVERSATION WITH DYLAN MCDERMOTT

flv

  • Date: 04.06.11

Film and stage actor Dylan McDermott is best known for his award-winning, critically acclaimed role as Boston criminal defense attorney Bobby Donnell in The Practice. For seven seasons McDermott portrayed an unusual fictional character in the annals of legal art: the lawyer who is morally anguished by what attorneys and law firms often must do in order to succeed. With Bobby Donnell as its senior partner, the law firm in this more reflective practice achieved victories but was always mindful of the difference between legal ethics and public morality.
