Actor Bradley Cooper, best known for American Sniper, The Hangover trilogy, and many more hits, is taking on a recurring role in CBS' upcoming drama Limitless. In the original film of the same name, Cooper played a struggling writer who developed super-human abilities thanks to a mysterious drug called NZT, which turned out to have deadly side effects.
The CBS series, which is a continuation of the 2011 big-screen thriller, will center on new protagonist Brian Finch, played by Jake McDorman, who uses NZT to help the FBI solve complex cases.
In addition to reprising his role as Eddie Morra, Cooper will also serve as an executive producer of the drama. This marks a TV comeback for the 40-year-old actor who first got his start starring alongside Jennifer Garner in Alias.
