Jason Lee
Jason Lee is sticking to television with TNT's pilot, Delta Blues. To keep himself busy, he's also landed a live-action project with Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.
Jason Lee to Lead Delta Blues
Delta Blues, from Clooney and Grant Heslov's Smokehouse Pictures and Warner Horizon, centers on Dwight Hendricks (Lee), a Memphis police officer who lives with his mother and moonlights as an Elvis impersonator. Clark Johnson is directing the pilot from a script by Liz M. Garcia and Joshua Harto. Clooney, Heslov, Garcia and Johnson serve as executive produces.
Lee, who recently found available time with the cancellation of My Name is Earl, has also agreed to sign the indie film Get Back. See what I mean by keeping himself busy?
You can next see the actor in Kevin Smith's A Couple of Dicks, which recently wrapped.
