Morris Chestnut Lands ‘The Long Walk’ Pilot

Morris Chestnut will star in an upcoming Fox drama pilot called, The Long Walk. Written by Carol Mendelsohn, The Long Walk is based on the upcoming novel The Bomb Maker by Thomas Perry.

When a killer with a deadly vendetta sets a trap and blows up half of the LA Bomb Squad, private security expert and retired bomb tech Dick Stahl (Chestnut) reluctantly returns to the team he left behind. Intent to not let the squad’s remaining rookies go it alone, Stahl must confront his past head-on as he trains, recruits and rebuilds the best bomb squad in the country – all while working to catch the killer, and responding to the diverse calls of an elite Bomb Squad. This extended family is a group of real heroes, risking their lives to protect the city, their loved ones… and each other.

Chestnut first came to attention for his role in the 1991 film “Boyz N The Hood.” He has appeared in small feature films and on television series, including the starring role of pathologist Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr. in the Fox TV series Rosewood.
