Ving Rhames Cast in Comedy Central Pilot

The imposing veteran lightens up for David Gordon's Green's Black Jack.

What do you get when you team Ving Rhames with David Gordon Green and Danny McBride? A new Comedy Central pilot called Black Jack, apparently.

Rhames has just been cast as the lead in the single-camera comedy from Rough House Productions (the company started by McBride and Green). He'll star as "Black Jack," a 20-year veteran of special ops who goes too far and loses his job. Presumably, some fish-out-of-water antics and bad-assery ensue.
