ER Actress Jumps to UPN

Jorja Fox, who plays intern Maggie Doyle on ER, is going to keep her job even as she moves to a hospital on the UPN network. She will still be a medical intern on The True Story, a drama series being considered by UPN for its fall lineup. However, Fox will be the star instead of an ER bit player; her character’s father is in jail for killing her mother.

If that series doesn’t sound unusual enough, consider two other programs UPN may greenlight: Student Affairs, a spoof of daytime soaps set in college, and Secret Agent Man, which is loosely based on the ‘60 series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
