LL Cool J Trying To Return To Small Screen

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno

      LL’s last album didn’t do too well. The last couple of movies, “Last Holiday” or “Edison”, hardly anyone remembers those, so what’s next? Head back to television. CBS gave the okay for a pilot of “The Man”, written by “CSI” creator Anthony Zuiker and starring LL, to be taped and considered to be added to the network’s fall lineup.

      “The Man” centers on an L.A. undercover cop, played by LL, who juggles his job while developing a fatherlike relationship with a boy orphaned after one of his drug busts, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Zuiker wrote the script and will be executive producing with LL and his manager Jason Barrett getting co-producing credit.
