FX Gets Boxed In With "Lights Out"

"Lights Out", the new FX Network 'boxing' TV series, debuts January 2011, from executive producer Warren Leight ("Mother's Day"), starring actor Holt McCallany (CSI: Miami") as former heavyweight boxing champion 'Lights Out Leary' who struggles to find his identity after retiring from the ring.

"...Financial problems leave him at a crossroads - battling the urge to return to boxing or reluctantly accepting a job as a 'debt collector'..."

Catherine McCormack ("Braveheart") co-stars as 'Theresa Leary', Lights' wife who is finishing her medical residency, Pablo Schreiber ("Law & Order") as 'Johnny Leary', Lights' brother/business manager and Stacy Keach ("Fat City") as 'Pops', Lights' father and former trainer who runs a boxing gym.

Canadian actor/director Clark Johnson ("The Shield") and Norberto Barba ("CSI: NY") directed the pilot episode.

Series creator Justin Zackham ("The Bucket List"), Phillip Noyce ("Salt") and Ross Fineman will also executive produce "Lights Out" for Fox Television Studios and FX Productions.
