Elijah Wood (the Lord of the Rings film franchise) stars as a man who believes a dog is human in FX’s half-hour comedy Wilfred. James Gann plays the titular character, the dog Wood’s character, Ryan, believes is just a man in a dog costume.
FX has set a June 23, 2011 premiere date.
In addition to Wood and Gann, the series stars Fiona Gublemann as Jenna and Dorian Brown as Kristen.
The Synopsis: Elijah Wood stars as “Ryan,” an introvert who struggles to find social and professional happiness, until he meets “Wilfred” (played by Gann), who Zuckerman describes as part Australian Shepherd, part Russell Crowe on a bender. The world sees Wilfred as a dog; Ryan sees Wilfred as a man dressed in a dog suit.
Wilfred is Ryan’s alter-ego intent on pushing Ryan out of his shell. Fiona Gublemann co-stars as “Jenna,” Ryan’s attractive next-door neighbor and owner of Wilfred.
