Hot Escapee

Eric Johnson (TV’s Rookie Blue) will be fleeing Alcatraz.

I know, I know – who and what?

Alcatraz is the new J.J. Abrams show starring Lost player Jorge Garcia, Sarah Jones, and Sam Neill that’s premiering on Fox on Jan. 16.

The show follows a team of FBI agents tasked with tracking down a group of missing Alcatraz prisoners and guards who begin to turn up in the present day after disappearing 30 years earlier. Johnson will play a smooth-talking criminal keen on the secrets of some safety deposit boxes.
