HARDWICK GETS A BADGE FOR TNT

TNT's new Jerry Bruckheimer produced pilot drama "The Line" is adding a little color to it's lineup with up and coming actor Omari Hardwick. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The Line," is a character-based police drama that revolves around a squad of undercover LAPD officers as they walk the line between doing their job and being seduced by easy money.

Hardwick will play Ty, an undercover cop with complex criminal aliases who is a model suburban husband on the outside.

Hardwick was most recently seen in the Spike Lee drama "Miracle at St. Anna" and prior to that he starred in the TNT series "Saved." Kudos to Omari, this guy is definitely on the rise.
