father gill stars with josh lyman in refreshingly new tv concept


LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Colin Hanks will join Bradley Whitford in "Jack and Dan," an action comedy slated to premiere on Fox next year.

Hanks plays Jack, an ambitious, by-the-book detective whose habit of undermining himself has resulted in a dead-end position at the Los Angeles Police Department. Worse, he has been partnered with Dan (Whitford), a drunken, lecherous, wild-card cop who hangs onto his job only because of a heroic act years before.

The show will have a similar tone to series creator Matt Nix's USA Network show "Burn Notice."

Hanks, who began as a regular on WB Network's sci-fi drama "Roswell," recently did an arc on AMC's "Mad Men." only important part of the article tbqh

His feature credits include comedy "The House Bunny," "Untraceable" and "The Great Buck Howard."
