Scott Cohen (Max Medina on Gilmore Girls) has been cast in the USA pilot series, Necessary Roughness.

Roughness centers on tough, sexy Long Island divorcee Danielle Santino (Callie Thorne), who, to make ends meet, becomes the therapist for a professional football team and quickly becomes sought after by other athletes, musicians, politicians and those living in the spotlight. Cohen will play a “fixer” for a football franchise who works closely with Danielle.

Aside from guest star roles and movies, Scott’s most regular television appearance since the end of Gilmore Girls was in the failed Amy Sherman-Palladino series, The Return of Jezebel James.
