AMC claims it has a 100 percent track record of turning every pilot it picks up into a series.

RON LIVINGSTON GOES FAR OUT WHILE ‘DEFYING GRAVITY’

Ron Livingston came to the attention of TV watchers when he costarred as Captain Lewis Nixon on HBO’s WWII miniseries Band of Brothers. Since then – to name a few credits – Livingston has had recurring roles on The Practice and Sex and the City, starred in an apocalyptic episode of Stephen King’s Nightmares and Dreamscapes and in the Fox TV series Standoff and can be currently seen on the big screen in The Time Travelers Wife.

Recently, he played astronaut Maddux Donner in Defying Gravity, the ABC summer series that was cancelled before it finished its entire run.

The Complete First Season of the series just hit DVD and Livingston spoke about his experiences working on it.
