John Lithgow Joins Jeff Bridges in FX Pilot 'Old Man'

John Lithgow has joined the cast of the upcoming FX drama pilot Old Man, which will also star Jeff Bridges.

Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home director Jon Watts will be directing the pilot and executive producing the series, if it gets picked up.

Variety reports that the series “centers on Dan Chase (Bridges), who absconded from the CIA decades ago and has been living off the grid since. When an assassin arrives and tries to take Chase out, the old operative learns that to ensure his future he now must reconcile his past.”

John will play Harold Harper, who is “described as intelligent and tough with deep reservoirs of compassion and ruthlessness. Harper is called back to service by the FBI after suffering a terrible personal loss. He has a complicated past with rogue fugitive Chase, which makes him uniquely suited for hunting him down.”
