Michael Chiklis to play a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Paramount Network's Coyote
-
The Shield alum is set to return to law enforcement TV, serving as executive producer and starring in Coyote, a crime drama in development at Paramount Network. He'll play retiring Border Patrol agent Ben Clemons who, on his final day due to forced retirement, "discovers an illicit tunnel used to mainline black market goods into the United States from Mexico. This soon puts Clemens in the crosshairs of the criminal mastermind he’s spent his career trying to destroy."
