HEELS: Mary McCormack Joins Stephen Amell-Led Starz Drama

Mary McCormack has joined the upcoming Starz series HEELS.

The series “is a story about the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to — or hard to leave behind.”

McCormack will play Willie, the business partner of Jack Spade (Stephen Amell), and the brains behind the organization. She “came up in the glory days as Wild Bill’s (Chris Bauer) valet, but grew tired of babysitting and left him just as his career took off. His return to the local circuit complicates her life, as does the reflection of her younger self that she sees in Crystal (Kelli Berglund).”

She previously led USA Network’s IN PLAIN SIGHT and starred in shows like THE WEST WING and THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT, and more.

HEELS was created by Michael Waldron, with Mike O’Malley showrunning.
