Remember Jason Beghe, who played Matt's ex-boyfriend, Jeffrey Lindley, the Navy officer? He was a semen. Huh, huh. His character ultimately contracted AIDS and died.
Anyway, Jason is getting his own series. Entitled To Have and to Hold, it will air on CBS Wednesday nights at 9PM. He'll play a blue-collar cop named Sean married to an Ivy League lawyer named Annie, played by Moira Kelly.
It's good to see that his portrayal of a gay character on The Place didn't pigeon-hole him. Unfortunately for Jason, the show is a one-hour drama on CBS. It has two chances of survival - slim and none. I give it four episodes before it is pulled for reruns of Touched by an Angel.
