Who Is In It? James Wolk, Mark Deklin, Jon Voight, David Keith
What’s It All About? Ever since he was a child, Bob (Wolk) and his father (David Keith) have been living as con artists, gaining people’s trust, fleecing them and running away. Now, as a young man, Bob has managed to get himself into a legitimate, promising and high-paying position with a major oil firm — in part by marrying the daughter of its founder, but also through his own hard work. He wants to get out of the con and go legitimate, but there are a couple of small problems — namely, the girlfriend and the alternate life he’s constructed away from the scam. But there’s also a bigger problem — his father is reluctant to let his son go his own way.
This show has the potential to be huge this season. Con artists and big oil, potential for bigamy (think Dallas-sized drama) and it’s on FOX. This could be this year’s show for the American everyman, and we’re already trying to pipeline our way to Episode 2.
***UPDATE 9/29/10: Zap2It reports that FOX has canceled Lone Star due to very poor ratings. Lie to Me will premiere in the Monday 9pm time slot starting October 4.
