Tamara Tunie
Dr. Melinda Warner (Season 2, Episode 6 "Noncompliance")
“Oh, wow. Gosh, that was a long time ago, sis, a long time ago. [Laughs.] But what I do remember mostly is having difficulty looking in Christopher Meloni’s eyes because I was a fan of OZ, and [his character] was such a horrific human being; I was terrified of him. And so it took me a while to get over that, I have to say.” (Photo credit: Screengrab/NBC)

CBS has found success in recent years by rebooting classic titles with a new twist (HAWAII FIVE-0, MAGNUM P.I., MACGYVER), and the latest on its roster is MATLOCK.
The new series (which debuts with a special sneak peek on Sunday, September 22 before making its Thursday, October 17 time slot debut) follows Kathy Bates as a gender-flipped Madeline “Matty” Matlock who reenters the workforce at a prestigious law firm. Naturally, her new colleagues are skeptical of her, so Matty has to go above and beyond to prove herself to them.
