"CSI" producer Anthony Zuiker has teamed with rapper/actor LL Cool J for a new TV drama series entitled "The Man". CBS has given a pilot commitment to the project says The Hollywood Reporter.
"The Man" will star LL Cool J as an undercover LAPD cop who spends the nights running sting operations to break criminal rings and the days raising his three adopted kids.
The cop's cover is being "the man" - he is the go-to guy in the upper echelon of Los Angeles, a high-octane hustler who can do anything, from getting into the hottest nightclub in town to scoring tickets for a Lakers game.
