EVA ADAMS (FOX) - James Van Der Beek ("Dawson's Creek") and David Denman ("The Office") have both scored roles on the drama pilot, about Adam, an egotistic sexist agent who, under a witch's spell, turns into a beautiful woman so he can endure the harassment he's been dishing out. Van Der Beek will play Connor, a former frat boy who is a good friend of Adam's and an agent at the firm, while Denman is set as another agent, Paul, a single dad reeling from a devastating divorce. Kevin Falls is behind the Sony Pictures Television-based hour, which Mark Waters is directing.

With the move completed and stories approved for the rest of the season, Fields has subsequently signed onto TNT's "Raising the Bar." Both series come from ABC Studios.
