Actor Josh Charles is known for playing unlikable, "smarmy" characters. Now, he is taking a leading role that shows a different side.
He will star in the new comedy series "Best Medicine." Charles will play a doctor who is grumpy but still charming.
This marks a major shift for the actor. For years, he was often cast as the less sympathetic character. In this show, he is the central figure audiences will follow.
The series hopes to blend humor with heart. It will explore the life of this complicated doctor as he deals with patients and his own personal challenges.
Fans will see if Charles can win them over as a lovable grump when the show premieres.
