Brian Cox lands two gigs at NBC

October 17, 2008 The Emmy winner has been tapped to co-star opposite Katee Sackhoff on the network's Dick Wolf-produced drama pilot "Lost and Found" and has landed a major four-episode arc on the midseason drama series "Kings." The hourlong "Found," from Wolf Films and UMS, 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.
