Stargate SG-1 actor Beau Bridges (Gen. Hank Landry) has won the lead role in Fox’s Two Families pilot, according to The Hollywood Reporter:
Beau Bridges has been tapped to headline Fox’s comedy pilot “Two Families.”
“Two Families,” from 20th Century Fox TV and HIP, centers on a man (Bridges) with two families whose two sets of adult children don’t know the others exist. Emmy winner Bridges was most recently seen on the Sci Fi Channel’s “Stargate SG-1.”
Edited to add: Here’s what Variety has to say about Bridges’ new role:
Casting — Beau Bridges, seen recently in a recurring role on “My Name is Earl,” will star in the Fox comedy pilot “Two Families.” He’ll play David Sr., a man who gets into a car accident — and his secret, that he has been fathering two families, is revealed. 20th Century Fox TV and HBO Ind. Prods. produces.
Boy, that didn’t take long! Of course this is a pilot, not a full-on series yet, but it’s still very cool for him. I look forward to seeing him be more comedic. Maybe he’ll remember his Stargate buds and put in a word for them, too. 😉
