Jason Patric Out to Make TV Debut in FX Pilot ‘Powers’

Jason-Patric-Powers

Big screen bad-ass Jason Patric is looking to make his foray into television by starring as the male lead in the FX superhero pilot “Powers.” The 45-year-old actor joins a cast that includes Lucy Punch (Bad Teacher) and Charles Dutton (Alien 3).

“Powers” is the name of the civilian police force assigned to investigating crimes involving people with super powers. The pilot, directed by Michael Dinner (”The Wonder Years”) and penned by Charles Eglee (”Dark Angel”), is based on the comic book series created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming.

Patric will play Christian Walker, a detective working the case of a murdered super-being with rookie partner Deena Pilgrim (Punch). Sony Pictures Television and Circle of Confusion (“The Walking Dead”) are producing.

Up until now, this project sounded about as lame as “The Cape” to me. Patric’s involvement really amps up its potential. Hopefully his role will be on par with the intense characters he’s played in the films Your Friends and Neighbors, Downloading Nancy, The Losers, Narc, Rush, and, of course, The Lost Boys.
