After playing one of the lead roles in American science-fiction TV series, Flash Forward, Jack Davenport had a good time playing a role in the thriller film, The Key Man. Those who are opting to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4 would miss Norrington, a role that Jack played in all the previous three installments.

But the good news is that the actor has now landed a role in a brand new TV series called Smash. He will play the lead role of Derek in the series that is being directed by Michael Mayer and produced by Steven Spielberg. Needless to say, Jack has made a giant leap!

Flash Forward adopted a theme and style, quite different from the horde of science-fiction stuff that we get to see on TV these days. Although the series could not move ahead to season 2, it has acquired a pretty solid fan base among the viewers. Download all the 22 installments of Flash Forward to see it for yourself.

Now, what’s good to know is that Jack Davenport will be in the public eye through his antics in the comedy series Smash, which is said to be made in the style of Glee.

Such inferences are being drawn from the fact that like Glee, Smash is a musical show, although it’s not known if it would put school students in the midst of scheme of things.

The project has already become a talked-about show, what with Steven Spielberg’s name being associated with it. Just wait for its arrival, and I am sure it will make your imagination leap with excitement, something that only a handful of shows have been able to do!
