Rob Kazinsky Cast As Monster In Fox’s Untitled Frankenstein Cop Show

Rob Kazinsky has landed the reanimated monster role in Fox’s untitled Frankenstein police-drama, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In the upcoming television series, Kazinsky will play Pritchard, a retired, morally corrupt police officer that died and was brought back to life. Now in a younger body he has to decide if he’ll use his second chance a life for good or if he’ll go back to his old ways.

The character is further described as athletic, strong and handsome; the Frankenstein “monster” who is the reanimated version of a much older Pritchard, a former Marine and county sheriff who was recently murdered. Brought back from the dead, Pritchard may have a new body, but his mind is still that of a 75-year-old badass curmudgeon. – THR

The pilot is being written by Life‘s Rand Ravich and Homeland‘s Howard Gordon.
