Ryan Phillipe got his start playing the first gay American soap opera character on One Life To Live, before transitioning to movie roles in Cruel Intentions, Gosford Park, and Crash. Now he’s returning to television for his first regular role since the final season of Damages. Based on an upcoming Australian mystery series (and not Mike Leigh’s 1996 British drama), ABC’s Secrets & Lies centers on Phillippe’s character, a family man who becomes the main suspect in a murder investigation after he finds a young boy’s body. Charles McDougall, who's helmed episodes of House Of Cards and The Good Wife, will direct the pilot.
