ended up converting because at
heart I'm an agnostic and I thought
that it wouldn't be right to go from
an agnostic WASP to an agnostic
Jew.
"I figured the things that I like
about the religion I could just incor-
porate into my life anyway," he says,
admitting that a factor in his initial
interest was romantically inspired.
"To this day I have a serious thing
for Jewish women," he says. "Natalie
Portman is on a pedestal for me."

Israeli actor Oded Fehr, shorn of
the long hair he wore as Bedouin
leader Ardeth Bay in The Mummy
and The Mummy Returns, and who
last starred in the short-lived UC:
Undercover, plays a Greek surgeon at
a mostly-female San Francisco med-
ical practice.
His Dr. Nicholas Kokoris joins the
group, hoping to continue the secret
affair he's having with a married
doctor on staff, played by Dana
Delaney.
For medical verisimilitude, Fehr
has turned to his sister, a cancer
research scientist in Israel.
"I've gone to a few surgeries with
her, to see what a surgeon does, how
they do it," he says. "I'm even more
convinced than I ever was that I
wouldn't have been able to be a real
surgeon."

Premieres Sept. 26
As Jake Silver, Mark Feuerstein
signs on to rescue a failing local
morning TV show because he's smit-
ten by the studio hairdresser (Ashley
Williams).
Feuerstein signed on for this sit-
corn for the chance to work with
Will & Grace creators David Kohan
and Max Mutchnick.
He also related to the notion of "a
guy who is ambitious, edgy and
meets this girl, and realizes he hasn't
taken the time to fall in love. That's
going to be the center of the show."
Feuerstein, whose credits include
The West Wing, Once and Again and
the title character in Conrad Bloom
on TV, and movies like What
Women Want and The Muse, says
that Jake's Jewishness won't be cen-
tral but there will be certain refer-
ences.
Jewish-born actress Suzanne
Pleshette plays Claire, Jake's sassy
grandma and confidante, a much
more modern woman than were
either of Feuerstein's late grand-
mothers, whom he describes as
"more from the Old Country, busy
making gefilte fish."
Feuerstein, who strongly identifies
with his heritage and considers him-
self "relatively" observant, was raised
in Manhattan and began acting
while at Princeton.
His parents, he says, are very
proud of his achievements, which
include roles in the movies Abandon,
opening Oct. 18, and Two Weeks'
Notice, the Hugh Grant-Sandra
Bullock romance due Dec. 20.
"They're shepping nachas from the
kinder [taking pride in their child's
accomplishments]," he smiles.
EVERWOOD
WB Mondays, 9-10 p.m.
Premiered Sept. 16
Set in a Colorado mountain town
(but actually shot in Utah),
Everwood stars Treat Williams as a
New York neurosurgeon who takes
his kids Ephram and Delia to the
Rockies after his wife dies.
Central to the drama is the con-
flict between the doctor and his
teenage son, Ephram (Gregory
Smith), who was very close to his
Jewish mother.
"Ephram never had a relationship
with his dad, They just lived in the
same house. They acknowledged
each other but that was it," says
Smith. "I think it will take a long
time to resolve. There's a lot of pain
there."
STILL STANDING
CBS Mondays, 9:30-10 p.m.
Premieres Sept. 30
With TV credits ranging from
Square Pegs to Ally McBeal and the
Gilda Radner biography, Jami Gertz
adds another to her resume: the
blue-collar comedy Still Standing,
co-starring Mark Addy (The Full
Monty) as her husband.
For Gertz, playing Chicago mom
Judy Miller isn't much of stretch.
Like her sitcom alter ego, she's a
Chicago native, in a long-term mar-
riage, and has three children, though
she says she's "much tougher" on her
