‘Six Feet Under’ star Rachel Griffiths is set to star as the founder of a New Zealand escort agency in new comedy drama 'Madam.'
Griffiths, best known for her roles in “Six Feet Under” and “Brothers & Sisters,” stars as McKenzie ‘Mack’ Leigh, who sets up an ethical brothel in New Zealand after her philandering husband and mountain of debt leave her struggling to provide for her family.
