John Schneider in new series

June 26, 2008 Schneider is starring in "twentysixmiles," a six-episode, independently financed drama that's filming on Southern California's Catalina Island and searching for a distributor. The actor plays a high-powered Los Angeles executive who moves to Catalina -- "twenty-six miles across the sea," as the Four Preps song goes -- to live near his kids after his wife divorces him. The ensemble series is a longtime passion project of creator/executive producer Rob Miller, who is pouring $5.5 million into the production in hopes of luring studio and network partners.
