Based on the early life and career of daytime talk-show host "Dr. Phil" McGraw, Bull is being produced by Amblin TV and CBS TV Studios. Jackson will play Chunk, a former football player who helps prepare defendants to face a judge and jury for a company called Trial Sciences Inc.
Jackson has been seen on Broadway previously in In The Heights, Holler If Ya Hear Me, The Bronx Bombers (as Derek Jeter) and Memphis.
No production timetable or premiere date was reported.
