Over the last 30 years, Jerry Bruckheimer has been involved in more than his share of Hollywood power plays. The executive producer of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies and “CSI” TV dramas would rather take his power plays on ice, however, playing his favourite sport — hockey.
Bruckheimer’s passion for the game came up earlier this month at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif. It was during a session for one of two new shows he’s producing for the fall, ABC’s “The Forgotten” (the other being the cable crime drama “Dark Blue,” which stars Dylan McDermott).
Christian Slater was asked how he came to be cast as the lead in “The Forgotten,” a drama about a team of amateur sleuths who look into cold cases involving forgotten murder victims.
“Jerry plays hockey, and I think in the locker room, my agent also plays on maybe a different team, but they ended up talking about it. And Jerry said he was looking for an actor for a new show that he was doing, and my agent put it together. So this all sort of came together in the locker room.”
