Well, if he couldn't be a noir-ish private eye maybe he'll have better luck as a confused, time-traveling cop.
Irish actor Jason O'Mara has been cast in the lead role in the American remake of the British series Life On Mars. The show is being produced by David E. Kelley (L.A. Law, Picket Fences, Ally McBeal, etc). The show will start production in mid August and could be ready as a midseason replacement on ABC.
