‘TV Squad is reporting that Firefly alum Alan Tudyk will be joining the cast of the upcoming remake of The Rockford Files, being put together by House creator David Shore. Tudyk will play Detective Dennis Becker, originally played by Joe Santos.

My personal opinion of this is very wary. The Rockford Files is one of my all-time favorite TV shows, and while I do adore House and love Alan Tudyk, the choice of Dermot Mulroney to play Jim Rockford really worries me. I’ll watch it, of course, but my expectations are very, very low.
