Milo Ventimiglia has signed on for a starring role in TNT’s drama pilot L.A. Noir.

The show – based on John Buntin‘s book “L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City” – “tells the true story of a decades-long conflict between the LAPD, under the determined leadership of Police Chief William Parker, and ruthless criminal elements led by mobster Mickey Cohen, a one-time boxer who rose to the top of LA’s criminal world,” according to Deadline.

Milo, 34, will take on the role of Ned Stax, a former marine who served with Joe Teague (The Walking Dead alum Jon Bernthal) during WWII who’s now a “budding lawyer groomed to be a master fixer for the mob.”

《超能英雄》的主演之一米洛·文堤米利亚(Milo Ventimiglia)正式重返小荧屏，他加盟了弗兰克·德拉邦特(Frank Darabont)在TNT电视网的罪案新剧《洛城黑帮》，这将是Ventimiglia参演的第一个有线网剧集。

剧集被定为在快节奏的时代惊悚剧集，故事基础建立在约翰·布汀(John Buntin)的同名小说之上，描写了40至50年代在洛杉矶警察局长William Parker和拳击手改行的黑老大Mickey Cohen之间的斗争。Ventimiglia将扮演Ned Stax，一位参加过二战的前海军队员现在变成为暴徒辩护的律师。

曾执导《肖申克的救赎》和《绿色奇迹》的Darabont将自编自导首播集，并且还会和迈克·德·鲁卡(Michael De Luca)、艾略特·韦伯(Elliot Webb)出任剧集的执行制片人。
