Here’s a reason to many of you to set your DVR’s.The Wrap reports:
James Caviezel, known for his title role in the Mel Gibson epic “The Passion of the Christ,” has come aboard the upcoming CBS pilot “Person of Interest,” from “Lost” executive producer J.J. Abrams.
The pilot, which revolves around a CIA agent who teams up with an eccentric billionaire — portrayed by “Lost” alum Michael Emerson — in New York City to prevent crimes, is being directed by David Semel, formerly of “Heroes.”
I’m a fan of Abrams who rebooted the Star Trek franchise last year very successfully and brought us “Alias” and the bestest show like evah in “Lost.”
Hey, I even liked Abrams’ short lived spy romp “Undercovers” from this year. I was shocked when that got cancelled.
And about Caviezel? The guy rocks. I think his career probably took a hit the moment he agreed to star in “The Passion.” But I’d love to see him be part of a huge television success.
Think you guys will check it out?

I will. I was so skeptical about Abrams' re-boot of Star Trek, but at the end I was out of seat cheering. I loved Caviezel in The Count of Monte Cristo.

wow- my dream show- Michael Emerson, too! I don't have tv, though- so I hope hulu will carry it!

Caviezel is a great actor, though he is now primarily known for the Passion, his role in The Count Of Monte Cristo was excellent. I will check out Person Of Interest.

J.J. Abrams also is responsible for Fringe, a really good television series.
Well, seasons 1 and 2 were very, very good. I haven't seen season 3 yet, because I'm waiting for Netflix to get the darned DVDs.
Fringe is kinda like X-Files, but not with aliens. Instead, it's about multi-verses.
Although the characters are not explicitly Christian, there is a strong emphasis from the "mad scientist" character that we shouldn't play God with science.
My 14-year-old daughter and I love it. We only hope that it doesn't go bad in season 3.

I love Fringe. Can't believe I forgot to mention it.

Jim C. was really good in The Stoning of Soraya M. His Farsi was very convincing. Very talented man.

Love James…..hopes this works out well for him. We need a good guy in Hollywood to root for, and I definitely won't mind seeing him on a weekly basis.

I miss Alias. That was a great show.
