CSI Creator: LL Cool J Is The Man

Anthony Zuiker, creator of the CSI franchise, is teaming up with LL Cool J to develop The Man, a CBS drama starring the rapper-actor as a lawman who juggles his nights as an upper-echelon crime-stopper with his days as a parent lording over a trio of adopted children, Reuters reports. Zuiker says he was influenced by LL Cool J's own dual existence as a "multiplatinum rapper and an amazing father" of four. Upon pitching the concept to LL Cool J, Zuiker says, "He loved it, and we're now officially in business."
