In an effort to break away from his "nice" image, Fox will be playing a bad guy on the television series, reports FemaleFirst.
The actor will play the disabled love interest of Janet Gavin, the ex-wife of Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary), who is a bitter drug addict.
Fox admits that because people don’t normally think of him as a bad guy, he couldn’t pass up the chance to play the role.
The star also recently finished work on a documentary in the Himalayas about the optimism of the region.
