Look out Jack Bauer!
CHRISTIAN SLATER is jumping into the action-packed world of television espionage with a new NBC series, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The as-yet untitled drama is being described as "'The Bourne Identity' meets 'Jekyll & Hyde.'" Christian will play an outwardly normal suburban father who comes to realize he lives an alternate life as a spy.
The series comes from "Bionic Woman" writer-producer JASON SMILOVIC.
The 38-year-old actor has been a long-time fan favorite, starting with his role in the cult classic 'Heathers' and rose to fame with box office hits such as 'True Romance' and 'Interview with the Vampire.'
Christian has reportedly been offered a number of primetime series and given a shot at upcoming pilots, but aside from guest appearances on "The West Wing" and "Alias," this will be the actor's first foray into series primetime.
