It’s Christian Slater Monday!

Are you like us, did you have a hopeless crush on Christian Slater in high school? I’m not going to reveal how many times I’ve seen Untamed Heart, but it was a lot. Certain other Nice Girls would not like to reveal how many times they’ve seen Heathers. Suffice to say, we’re looking forward to Christian Slater’s new show, My Own Worst Enemy, premiering tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

Here’s the premise:

Executive producer/creator Jason Smilovic teams up with executive producer/director David Semel on NBC’s new drama “My Own Worst Enemy,” a show that raises the question: who can you trust when you can’t trust yourself? Starring Christian Slater (“Bobby”) as both Henry Spivey and Edward Albright, “My Own Worst Enemy” explores the duality of a man who is literally pitted against himself.

Henry (Slater) is a middle-class efficiency expert living a humdrum life in the suburbs with his wife, Angie, their two kids, a dog, and a minivan. Edward (Slater) is an operative who speaks 13 languages, runs a four-minute mile, and is trained to kill. Albright works at Janus Headquarters for Mavis Heller (Alfre Woodard, “Desperate Housewives”), a tough, extremely intelligent woman with a hidden compassionate side. Henry and Edward are polar opposites who share only one thing in common — the same body. When the carefully constructed wall between them breaks down, Henry and Edward are thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerously out of his element.

Tom Grady (Mike O’Malley, “Yes, Dear”) is Henry’s best friend and co-worker with an alter ego named Raymond (O’Malley), a sadistic and violent secret agent. Dr. Norah Skinner (Saffron Burrows, “The Bank Job”) is the smart and savvy psychologist who is in tune with the inner workings of both Edward and Henry.

Sounds nice and twisty, right? And it’s a nice companion to Chuck, airing in the 8/7c time slot. Plus we think Saffron Burrows and Madchen Amick are awesome. Also, Alfre Woodard? WIN!

Want more Christian? He’ll be on Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo at 8/7c (this is what DVRs are for, people). Check out MoWe tonight and let us know what you think – is it as great having Christian Slater on our screens every week as we think it is?
