Maybe Getting Ready to Rockford

Could it be...could Josh Holloway be lured back to TV sooner rather than later?

NBC is looking at the Lost star to star in another stab of a reboot of the ’70s private-eye classic The Rockford Files – Dermot Mulroney actually headlined a first pilot that went nowhere.

However, it seems that there haven’t been any talks between the actor and the network. So this is just a rumor. A very good one.

David Shore, who executive produces TV’s House and is overseeing the new Rockford Files with Steve Carell and Peter Berg’s production companies, has said, though, that Holloway is a “viable choice,” but, at the same time, added that “it’s too premature” to start naming names.

I wouldn’t say, not when the erstwhile Sawyer is concerned.
