LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Jenny Wade is set to co-star opposite Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford on Matt Nix's new Fox series "Jack and Dan."
The 13-episode "Jack and Dan" centers on Jack (Hanks), an ambitious, by-the-book detective in a dead-end post at the LAPD who is partnered with Dan (Whitford), a drunken, lecherous cop who hangs onto his job only because of a heroic act years before.
