In his first regular TV role, Mulroney is set to play the iconic private eye in NBC's updated take on the hit 1970s drama that starred James Garner in the title role.


The new Jim Rockford is described as "slightly crumpled, wry humored, cynical, world weary, compassionate when it's called for and easily irritated by morons."


His troubled past includes includes doing some time as a convict and as a cop.


Aside from an arc on NBC's "Friends" in 2003, "My Best Friend's Wedding" co-star Mulroney has been focused on features, most recently appearing in "Burn After Reading."


NBC's "Rockford Files" was penned by "House" creator David Shore, who is executive producing with Steve Carell.
