Mar 2, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The popular TV series named ‘The Rockford Files’ aired in the late 1970s and 1980s is still remembered by many viewers. It made James Garner a household name. The sleuth who had his own way of getting things done became immensely popular with the viewers. If the latest news is to be believed, the fans of the series are going to get a taste of deja vu. The network is reportedly bringing back the popular series though the protagonist has been changed for the new version. The viewers may get to see actor Dermot Mulroney in the role of Jim Rockford. Incidentally, the actor who rose to fame after sharing screen space with Julia Roberts in the cult film, ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’, was prominent in the 1990s but after that he was not seen frequently in big ventures.
With The Rockford Files, actor Dermot Mulroney will make his debut in the small screen. The producer of the new Rockford series will be David Shore and so the viewers can expect something from it. Remakes of popular TV series are something that the viewers scan with rapt attention. They would try to see if the new version of the series lives up to the level of the original. While in the case of some similar remakes the networks have been successful, there are also instances where the remakes have turned out to be duds.
However, Dermot Mulroney has proved his mettle in acting before and his hunk charms are still intact. It is expected that he would do a nice job of it.
