‘Big Shot’: Camryn Manheim Joins David E. Kelley’s Disney+ Series As Recurring, Daisha Graf & Dale Whibley Also Cast

EXCLUSIVE: The Practice alum Camyrn Manheim is reuniting with David E. Kelley on Big Shot, his series on Disney+. Manheim is set to recur, along with Daisha Graf (The High Note) and Dale Whibley (There’s Someone Inside Your House) on the series starring John Stamos, from Kelley, Dean Lorey, Brad Garrett and ABC Studios, part of Disney Television Studios.

Created by Kelley, Lorey and Garrett, in Big Shot, after getting ousted from the NCAA, a men’s basketball coach is given a chance for redemption with a coaching position at an elite private high school. He soon learns that the teenage players require empathy and vulnerability — foreign concepts for the stoic Coach Korn (Stamos). By learning how to connect with his players, Marvyn starts to grow into the person he’s always hoped to be. The girls learn to take themselves more seriously, finding their footing both on and off the court.
