The Old Man Cast & Character Guide
FX's The Old Man is a new thriller series based on the novel of the same name and features a cast of characters led by the legendary Jeff Bridges. Created for television by Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine, The Old Man is based on the novel by Thomas Perry about a former CIA operative named Dan Chase, who is living in hiding when he is suddenly thrust back into the spy game and on the run after an assassination attempt. It's the first role for Bridges after a battle with cancer and his first TV role in more than 50 years.
Joining Bridges is veteran actor John Lithgow, as well as actress Amy Brenneman, Alia Shawkat, E.J. Bonilla, and Gbenga Akinnagbe. Creators Levine and Steinberg are best known for their previous TV work on shows like Black Sails, See, and Human Target. The Old Man novel is a standalone book, rather than a recurring series for a central character, making the Hulu series likely to be a one-off adaptation, rather than a seasonal effort.
