LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Beau Bridges is set to co-star opposite Dermot Mulroney on NBC's new version of "TheRockford Files."
"Rockford," written and executive produced by "House" creator David Shore and executive produced by Steve Carell, stars Mulroney as roguish private detective Jim Rockford, a role originated by James Garner in the original series, which aired from 1974 to 1980 on NBC.
Bridges will play his father and closest friend, Rocky, a truck driver who always helps his son in a tough situation, though he tends to offer a commentary that Jim doesn't always appreciate. Noah Beery, Jr. played the role on the original series.
"Rockford" marks Bridges' return to NBC, where he recently played the father of another title character on comedy series "My Name Is Earl," earning an Emmy nomination for his recurring role.
