Masry on 'Power' trip

Brockovich lawyer to argue on court strip

By MELISSA GREGO

Ed Masry is joining the lineup of Twentieth Television’s upcoming court strip “Power of Attorney.”

Masry, who with Erin Brockovich won the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in U.S. history, joins fellow legal eagles Gloria Allred, Christopher Darden and F. Lee Bailey on the upcoming syndie skein. He is portrayed in U’s “Erin Brockovich” by Albert Finney.

Strip pits lawyers against one another as they argue on behalf of people who would normally not have access to such high-powered legal representation.

Monet Lane Prods. is producing the strip in association with Twentieth.
