Eric McCormack: A long way from Will Truman

Eric McCormack in "Perception" Credit: "PERCEPTION"
It’s pretty clear from the first minutes of any episode of “Perception,” Eric McCormack’s TNT whodunit about a neuroscientist working with the government to solve crimes, that you’re not just watching an extension of “Will and Grace.”
McCormack’s Dr. Daniel Pierce is a smart, flawed and emotionally distant protagonist in the mold of Adrian Monk, nothing like the clean-cut, quippy lawyer Will Truman that he played on the award-winning sitcom.
Pierce is a flawed lead, suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, which leads to hallucinations that help give him a unique perspective on crimes.
amNewYork spoke with McCormack about the series. Season 2 premieres Tuesday night.
