Oscar nominee and hat enthusiast Terrence Howard will produce a new TV show about Ronald Farwell, an undercover LAPD detective who infiltrated the Black Panther Party, which I’m told is very different from the cougar party I saw in Palm Springs.

“Pigs and Panthers” will be set in 1960s and early 1970s Los Angeles, when Farwell infiltrated the Black Panthers. Project will draw from the story of Farwell and his wife, an L.A. Sheriff’s deputy, as he soon finds himself on the wrong side of the Black Panther Party, the FBI and the LAPD itself. [...]

“That time in our lives had a tremendous impact on our society, which can be felt even today,” Howard said. “We’ve put the right creative team in place to tell this fascinating story.” [Variety]

I dunno, I don’t think it’s the right creative team unless Howard stars in it as well.  He could bring so much to the role.  Like his killer fedora collection.
