Pitt is making serious TV forays as a producer for the upcoming miniseries "Lewis and Clark" and the limited series "Feud." Music star John Legend is an increasingly active producer with projects for TV ("Underground") and the big screen (filmmaker Cary Fukanaga's in-development "The Black Count"). Witherspoon's production company, for example, has focused on film and TV projects with female protagonists. Actress and film producer Reese Witherspoon ("Wild," ''Gone Girl") is producing and starring in the announced limited series "Big Little Lies." With motivations ranging from passion projects to career advancement, stars — and even their journeymen counterparts — are getting into the game.
