Jeff Bridges is on TV
While John Turturro is gearing up to rent the Big Lebowski spin-off, the legendary Dude is not idle. Jeff Bridges went the well-trodden path from big cinema to television series. If earlier his appearance on TV was purely episodic, this time the actor agreed to play the main role in the future project of the FX channel called The Old Man.The show will be based on the book of the same name by Thomas Perry, which tells the story of a former CIA agent. A hero named Dan Chase has been out of work for many years, but one day his life is threatened. A man will have to remember his past in order to secure a cloudless future for himself. The series will be written and executive produced by Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine (Black Sails). “Jeff Bridges is one of the greatest actors of his generation ..., Steinberg said. "To call this a dream job would be a terrible understatement." No other crew members have been announced yet. The series is slated to begin production this fall.
