mother's Catholic traditions and his
father's Jewish ones. "I celebrated
Christmas, Passover, Easter, Yom
Kippur. I wasn't baptized or bar mitz-
vah. I was raised in both, not commit-
ted to either. I can't ignore the 6,000
years of Sephardic Jewish blood cours-
ing through my veins, but I also never
feel safer than when I'm in St. Patrick's
Cathedral on Christmas Eve in
Montreal."
The Canadian city is still home —
he stays with friends, at a hotel or fur-
nished apartment while working in
L.A. — and intends to make his own
movies there. "All I've ever wanted to
do is be a writer-director, since I was 9
years old. I want to retire out of this
game by the time I'm 30, ideally," says
Baruchel, 23. "And money goes a lot
further back home.

Commander In Chief
9 p.m. Tuesdays, ABC
premieres Sept. 27
She grew up in Malibu and in show-
biz, but now Caitlin Wachs has moved
to an even more
famous address:
1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue.
Wachs, 16, plays
Rebecca Allen,
daughter of the first
female U.S. presi- °
dent (Geena Davis).
It's a position she
wouldn't want in
Caitlin Wachs
real life. "With the
Secret Service there, you can't do any-
thing. I'd probably screw up the first
day and do something wrong," she
says, though she's enjoying the role.
Wachs, whose credits include
Thirteen Days, The Divine Secrets of the
NI-Ya Sisterhood My Dog Skip, and
TV's Family Affair and Cracking Up, is
Jewish on her dad's side. "My mom is
Catholic, but I was raised with both.
My family looks at Jesus Christ as a
great teacher and Moses as amazing,

too. We believe in the higher power
and the greater good."

Head Cases
9 p.m. Wednesdays, Fox
premieres Sept. 14
In a show about two mentally unsta-
ble lawyers, Adam Goldberg plays the
wackier of the two, given to explosive
outbursts of behavior. "It becomes
very cathartic because I get to work
out many of my personal problems on
television," he says.
Known for his work in Saving
Private Ryan and The Hebrew
Hammer, Goldberg has several upcom-
ing films, including Man About Town
with Ben Affleck, the thriller Stay Alive
(he plays another lawyer), and Lucky
13, a bar mitzvah comedy. "But I don't
play Jewish in that," he notes.
Richard Kind was working on
Broadway in The Producers when he
got a call about joining Head Cases as
paralegal Lou Albertini. "This fell into
my lap. I'm the luckiest guy," says the
father of three, best known for his
roles in Mad About You and Spin City.

In other fall notes, Evan Handler
(Sex and the City) supports another
quartet of women in ABC's Hot
Properties, premiering 9:30 p.m. Oct.
7. Mark Linn-Baker (Perfect Strangers)
and Sara Gilbert (Roseanne, ER, 24)
play father and daughter in the WB
sitcom Twins, debuting 8:30 p.m.
Sept. 16.
Michael Rapapor t plays father ro
teenagers in Fox's The War at Home,
premiering 8:30 p.m. Sept. 11. Steve
Guttenberg will have a recurring role
on UPN's Veronica Mars as a baseball
team owner who runs for mayor and
will also star in NBC's three-hour
remake of The Poseidon Adventure,
airing Nov. 20.
Israeli actor Oded Fehr will play an
Arab terrorist posing as a Jew in the
Showtime drama Sleeper Cell, set to
debut in December. LI
