> Colin Hanks revs up for 'Jack and Dan'
> Joins Bradley Whitford in Matt Nix's action comedy
> By Nellie Andreeva

> Colin Hanks is set to topline "Jack and Dan," Matt Nix's new 13-
> episode hourlong series for Fox.

> The straight-to-series project, which also stars Bradley Whitford, is
> produced by Fox TV Studios under the company's international co-
> production model.

> It centers on Jack (Hanks), an ambitious, by-the-book detective whose
> habit of undermining himself has resulted in a dead-end position at
> the Los Angeles Police Department. Worse, he has been partnered with
> Dan (Whitford), a drunken, lecherous, wild-card cop who hangs onto his
> job only because of a heroic act years before.

> Filming on the show, an action comedy in the tone of Nix's USA Network
> series "Burn Notice," is slated to begin early next year.

> Hanks, who began as a regular on WB Network's sci-fi drama "Roswell,"
> recently did an arc on AMC's "Mad Men." His feature credits include
> comedy "The House Bunny," "Untraceable" and "The Great Buck Howard."

> He is repped by CAA and BenderSpink.
