Lee Pace Has the Touch for Pushing Daisies

Lee Pace won acclaim for his heart-wrenching portrayal of transgendered woman Calpernia Addams in Showtime's ripped-from-the-headlines drama Soldier's Girl.

Since then, he's made other very interesting choices, from co-starring in the brilliantly quirky cult TV series Wonderfalls to playing one of the killers in the little-seen Capote biopic Infamous.

Now, Pace is re-teaming with Wonderfalls' gay co-creator, Bryan Fuller, for a new series, Pushing Daisies, which will also feature a combination of romance and otherworldliness.

Pace plays a man whose touch can bring the dead back to life - and you know how complicated that can be.

With Fuller and gay executive producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen (American Beauty) in the credits, hopes are high that the Daisies pilot will push its way onto ABC's fall schedule.
