Trust Greg Kinnear, because he's a lawyer in the new Fox dramedy Rake. But you probably shouldn't trust him that much. And you certainly shouldn't judge him! Just look at the exclusive Rake promo art we got our hands on; he's nursing a black eye from who knows which dude (or girl) he's pissed off recently! Poor guy.

Rake, which is an adaption of the Australian series of the same name, revolves around criminal defense lawyer Keegan Deane (Kinnear) who participates in several self-destructive behaviors that affects everyone around him, from his ex-wife to the IRS. Basically, he's very smart, but makes really stupid decisions.

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes video from a Rake photo shoot, Kinnear and the rest of the cast talk about what to expect from the series, which premiers in January.

Rake star Bojana Novakovic describes Kinnear's character as "an exquisite, incredible lawyer with a train wreck of a personal life."

"He has a few vices," Kinnear adds. "He's got certain addictions and problems causing chaos for those around him."

To get a rundown of all the characters, watch the exclusive video below!

Rake premiers Sunday, Jan. 19 before moving to its Thursday time slot on Fox.
