Alan Tudyk joins Rockford Files

After previously reported that Dermot Mulroney will star as the lead in NBC's reimaginging of the seventies hit series Rockford Files, Michael Aussiello confirms that Alan Tudyk has signed on the project.

Tudyk, best known for his roles in Firefly and more recently Dollhouse, was killed off on another remake series V last november. With Dollhouse ending, there was space for him to climb aboard the new pilot, produced by David Shore.

What the new show exactly will entail is still up in the air, but Tudyk has been cast as LAPD sergeant Dennis Becker who is a close friend to lead Jim Rockford (Mulroney).
