George Michael to appear in US TV drama

George Michael has signed on to play Jonny Lee Miller's guardian angel in a new US TV drama.

The pop superstar will tweak the conscience of the British actor's ruthless attorney-turned-good guy in new show Eli Stone.

Michael will appear in dream sequences, aimed at inspiring Miller's character to do good deeds, in the show.

A spokesman for the show, which will debut in America later this year, said: "George really responded to the concept... and his songs reflect the themes of the show."
