TV Bites: Jamie Foxx Joins the Mob

jamiefoxx.JPG· Over the past two weeks, Jamie Foxx reportedly put together a trailer for a drama series called Tommy's Little Girl. The project, which was born out of an idea from the Oscar-winner himself, centers on a few older mobsters -- played by Paul Sorvino, Tony Sirico and James Russo -- and the relationship between Sorvino's character and his daughter, played by Selma Blair. After Foxx finishes editing Tommy's Little Girl, which was financially backed by a private investor, Foxx will shop it around to top cable networks. [Deadline]
