Patricia Arquette Keeps it in the Family  1/2/06

Patricia Arquette is set to team up with her older brother Richmond for the first time in 30 years on hit new US TV drama Medium, and she hopes the role will encourage other members of her family to join her in the series. 

Richmond, who directed his sister in her first film role, James Long, when she was just seven, will play a man who intrigues Arquette's psychic crime solver Allison DuBois in an upcoming show.

Patricia tried to help Richmond land a role as her brother last year (05), but the 42-year-old actor/director was deemed too old. Now Arquette hopes she can persuade brother David and sister-in-law Courteney Cox to join her on the show: "The best actors I know are in my family."
