Patrick Swayze has refused to let his battle with Pancreatic Cancer keep him sidelined. He's signed on to star in the A&E series "The Beast."
The Hollywood Reporter reports that the ""Beast," centers on an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran (Swayze) who trains a new partner (Travis Fimmel from the short-lived Tarzan series) in his hard-edged and psychologically clever style of agenting while being pursued by a secret Internal Affairs team."
The Swayze will continue treatment at Stanford University Medical Center while shooting the show. He said, "I have searched for quite a long time to find a character that is this multi-layered, unpredictable and downright entertaining, as well as a project this current and cutting-edge."
Production on the 13 episodes begin this summer in Chicago. The show will air in 2009
Good luck on the show and get well soon.
