Coming off the big green summer blockbuster, Tim Roth signed up for producer Brian Glazer's new drama "Lie To Me." Fox has already ordered 13 episodes of the one hour series about a man who can read peoples faces, and tell if they are lying. Aaalllright, sounds like a winner.....? I found this nugget at Variety
Tim Roth has been doing movies and TV for a while, but up until the Hulk movie, he has been under the radar for some time. At least, as far as I can tell. Most people know him as Mr. Orange in "Reservoir Dogs" and Ringo in "Pulp Fiction." Two Quentin Tarantino staples for movie fans. A few other Roth favorites of mine, are "Captives," which also starred Julia Ormond ("Sabrina" and "Legends of the Fall"). "Rob Roy," with Liam Neeson, were he was great as the sadistic Archibald Cunningham, and "Murder in the Heartland," a little known TV movie, also starring Fairuza Balk. I enjoy Roth's sullen, yet intense acting style, and the fact that he looks like an angry aardvark and still gets work gives us regular guys hope. Sphere: Related Content"Lie to Me" is set to start shooting in November. Scribes have already got a jump on production; Fox had earlier ordered several scripts in addition to the pilot, allowing series creator Sam Baum and his team a chance to generate several more stories.
"This is a very important piece of the puzzle for us," said Fox Entertainment proxy Kevin Reilly. "We’ve got big plans for this year, and it was important that this one came together. It’s that very elusive but fundamental thing we’re looking for: a commercially viable franchise that can generate five-plus years for us."
