The Walking Dead actor Jon Bernthal is reportedly having discussions to join TNT pilot L.A. Noir.
The drama series is the latest project from former Walking Dead showrunner Frank Darabont, and will chart the war between Los Angeles police chief William Parker and his mobster nemesis Mickey Cohen.
Sources have told Variety that Bernthal is in very early negotiations to reunite with Darabont for the pilot.
If he were to join the cast, Bernthal will play Los Angeles cop Joe Teague, one of the central characters of the series.
Darabont departed The Walking Dead in July, following rumours that he had been fired after a budget dispute with AMC.
The second series of The Walking Dead will return to AMC in the US on February 12, and in the UK on FX later in February.
