For his next project, Alfred Molina will need a little assistance…

The 59-year-old half-Spanish actor, who currently stars on TNT’s Monday Mornings drama series, will be starring opposite Krysten Ritter in the NBC’s comedy pilot Assistance.

The project, from Universal Television, centers on Nora (portrayed by Ritter), an idealistic “working girl” assistant who is pulled between her colleague and her real-life fiancé while trying to manage her demanding boss Daniel (Molina).

Molina’s character is described as a very successful film producer with a large presence and thick intensity.

Along with his award-winning performance in Chocolat, Molina’s film credits include Spider-Man 2, An Education and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. His television credits include performances in Law & Order: LA and Harry’s Law.
