Beau Bridges is set to co- star opposite Dermot Mulroney on NBC’s “Rockford Files” revival.

Bridges will play Rockford’s father and closest friend, Rocky, a truck driver for thirty years who always helps his son in a tough situation. Noah Beery, Jr. played the role on the original.

Mulroney will play private eye Jim Rockford, the role made famous by James Garner in the classic ’70s series.

“Rockford” will be written and executive produced by “House” creator David Shore and executive-produced by Steve Carell (“The Office“).

“Rockford” marks Bridges’ return to NBC where he recently played the father of Earl (Jason Lee) on “My Name Is Earl.”
