Pilots: Bill Pullman fathers 'Nathan'

Bill Pullman is the latest name to join pilot season.

The versatile actor has signed on to play a dad opposite "Better of Ted's" Jay Harrington in NBC's "Nathan vs. Nurture" sitcom, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The project centers on successful and hardworking surgeon Nathan (Harrington) who was adopted as a child and reunites with his birth dad Arthur (Pullman) and his bio-brothers only to find them to be the underachieving type.

It's possible that Arthur's parenting style has something to do with it. Although he's very loving, he might interfere too much in his kids lives, coddling them and praising them unconditionally, even if they're not quite successful.
