The one thing that David Boreanaz is not good at doing is not working. The actor has had back-to-back series on the air since joining the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayerin 1997, moving from that to Angel to Bones and, most recently, SEAL Team, and now he is adding one of the most sought-after roles of the pilot season to his resumé with the addition of The Rockford Files.
Variety just announced that Boreanaz will be starring in the iconic role of Jim Rockford in NBC’s remake of the series which starred James Garner as the private investigator, whose strapped finances make it necessary for him to live in a rundown trailer in Malibu, Calif.

The official logline for the contemporary remake of The Rockford Files states, “Newly paroled after doing time for a crime he didn’t commit, James Rockford returns to his life as a private investigator using his charm and wit to solve cases around Los Angeles. It doesn’t take long for his quest for legitimacy to land him squarely in the crosshairs of both local police and organized crime.”

The character description goes on to say Rockford is a “witty, world-weary and chronically broke private investigator whose charmingly gruff exterior masked a strong moral core.”
The original series, which premiered in 1974, won five Primetime Emmy Awards, including one for Garner as Lead Actor in 1977.
