The man who calmly did the splits between two moving semi trucks and lived to tell the tale is starring in a comedy from Amazon. Jean-Claude Van Johnson has Jean-Claude Van Damme playing a martial arts actor who ditches retirement and steps back into his role as an undercover private contractor, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Yep, seriously: He's moonlighting as a spy/assassin when not filming a "reimagined action film version of Huckleberry Finn" in the show. Expendables scribe Dave Callaham is attached to write, so that should give a few clues of what to expect in terms of tone.

It's Van Damme's first TV role and it could keep him busy until the next nostalgia-fueled project rolls around. That's assuming it passes pilot muster and he doesn't take a spill while filming his next high-stakes TV commercial, of course.

I talked about this last night in the Amazon thread.

Pilot was great. Good mix of action, comedy, and spoof. It's smart and funny with an interesting premise. It's getting good reviews across the board. Hopefully it gets turned into a series.

This show was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Its cool that JCVD is so open to making fun of himself and his image.
