Brian Cox Lands On NBC’s Lost And Found, Kings

Emmy winner Brian Cox has been tapped to co-star opposite Katee Sackhoff on the network’s Dick Wolf-produced drama pilot Lost and Found. The hourlong drama centers on Tessa (Katee Sackhoff), an offbeat LAPD detective who, after butting heads with the higher-ups, is sent as a punishment to the basement to work on John Doe and Jane Doe cases. Cox will play Tessa’s fractious partner Burt Macey, a foul-mouthed, racist dinosaur of a cop who does things the old-fashioned way: with blunt force and bigoted rants.

Cox has also landed a major four-episode arc on NBC’s midseason drama series Kings. The show centers on David (Christopher Egan), an idealistic soldier who joins the court of King Silas (Ian McShane), monarch of the modern nation of Gilboa. Cox will play Silas’ nemesis, former King Vesper.
