"Governor" Jeff Bridges will star in the series for the first time. He will star in FX's new play The Old Man, adapted from Thomas Perry's best-selling book of the same name. Bridges plays Dan Chase, a retired CIA official who escaped from CIA decades ago and has lived in low-key seclusion ever since. But now a killer comes to the door to take care of him. And Chase has to revisit his past in order to solve the trouble. Jon Steinberg and Robert Levine ("Black Sail") are scriptwriters and executive producers, and the pilot will begin production this fall.
