Shemar Moore To Star In CBS Series ‘S.W.A.T.’

Shemar Moore, who recently left Criminal Minds after 11 seasons, has snagged a new role. The 46-year-old has been tapped to star in the CBS drama pilot S.W.A.T., executive produced by Shawn Ryan, Neal H. Moritz, Justin Lin and Aaron Rahsaan Thomas. Moore also will serve as a producer on the project, inspired by the 2003 Sony movie that was based on the 1975 ABC series produced by Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg.

S.W.A.T. is described as an intense, action-packed procedural following a locally born and bred S.W.A.T. lieutenant, Daniel ‘Hondo’ Harrelson (Moore), torn between loyalty to the streets and duty to his fellow officers when he’s tasked to run a highly-trained unit that is the last stop for solving crimes in Los Angeles.

Moore’s Harrelson, exuding calmness but always ready for action, has all the ability to become a leader – he’s just not happy with the reason he just became one. The role was played by Samuel L. Jackson in the 2003 movie directed by Clark Johnson.
