Dan Fogler of Balls of Fury (2007) fame, along with Studio 13 have come together to create a new comedy web series called M’Larky. With all the brooding, sometimes overbearing drama in cop shows today, perhaps a "cop show about maniacs" is just what the doctor ordered. Think Miami Vice (TV) parody, with more spandex.
M’Larky follows the exploits of Detective Jon M’Larky (Josh Warren), a no-nonsense, had-nosed cop who must report to his quirky, off-the-wall Lieutenant Black (Dan Fogler). Fans will also get to reminisce the days of yore, when video games were vintage instead of digital; each time the action reaches a climax (or a high speed chase), the action will cut to video game footage from such classics as Tony Hawk's Ride and other hit web games.
Look for well-known comedy guest stars, such as Gilbert Gottfried, Jeffery Ross, and Ashley Jensen (Accidentally on Purpose (TV)).
Fogler has had quite the extensive filmography, including starring with Christopher Walken in Balls of Fury (2007), Jim Carrey in Horton Hears a Who (2008) and Good Luck Chuck (2007) with Jessica Alba. Fogler can most recently bee seen in Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock (2009) with Liev Shreiber and Emile Hirsch. Upcoming releases include Universal’s Young Americans (2011) opposite Topher Grace and Anna Faris, as well as taking a more dramatic turn opposite Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart in Brand New Day for Universal Pictures.
He made his directorial debut for a play that he wrote called "Elephant in the Room," which premiered at the 2007 Fringe Film Festival in NYC. His work in the Broadway production of William Finn and Rachel Sheinkin’s musical, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," earned him a Tony Award.
M’Larky will debut May 19, 2010 on mlarky.atom.com and mlarky.com.
