Variety

Goggins will play Det. Jack Vincennes on the potential TV series based on the 1997 Curtis Hanson movie and James Ellroy's novel. As Variety notes, Vincennes is "all swagger and flash with a movie star smile, Jack knows how the system works and uses it to his best advantage, including some corrupt shakedowns on the side." Kiefer Sutherland played Jack Vincennes in the previous TV pilot for L.A. Confidential that was produced in 2003.
