Who will play the android policeman at the heart of Fox?s new futuristic crime drama?

Actor Michael Ealy has landed the pivotal role in the network?s untitled pilot from Fringe?s J.H. Wyman.

The action-drama is set in not-too-distant future Los Angeles where cops are paired with android partners. Ealy plays Dorian, a mechanical officer who understands humanity more than his human partner (not yet cast). The Gersh-repped Ealy has had arcs on CBS? The Good Wife, Showtime?s Californication and ABC?s Flashforward.

J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk are executive producers on the project along with Wyman, who wrote the script. Fringe veteran Brad Anderson will direct the pilot.

According to TV Line, producer J.J. Abrams has hired Karl Urban - who previously worked with the busy director/producer on 2009's Star Trek - to star in his latest television pilot, Human. The Fox drama, penned by J.H. Wyman (Fringe), is a futuristic thriller that "is being billed as an action-packed buddy cop show set in the near future, when all LAPD officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids." Urban, who will reprise his role as Bones McCoy in this summer's Star Trek Into Darkness, will play 'John Kennex', "a respected police officer who has shut down emotionally after a tragic mission left him critically injured. He is paired with Dorian (Common Law?s Michael Ealy), an android detective who, ironically, has a better grasp of humanity than he does." Minka Kelly, Lili Taylor, Michael Irby and Mackenzie Crook also star.

key about DARPA

DARPA?s mission is to maintain the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent technological surprise from harming our national security by sponsoring revolutionary, high-payoff research bridging the gap between fundamental discoveries and their military use.

So, he's an android/robot who looks just like a normal human... Cheap special fx...from the description I hoped it would be more of a serialized robocop but...

Wonder why they are making a show when the reboot movie is next year.

Not robocop, nothing to do with robocop, just a confusing title. If anything this would have more in common with Blade Runner anyway.
