Jared Padalecki to play Chuck Norris, well not exactly

Supernatural is coming to an end. I know. That is sad. But I am sure the reruns will be around somewhere and there is always DVD, if not streaming.

So what is Jared Padalecki going to do? Is he going to lounge around in his boxers, eating an apple, watching some news outlet and then doing random tweets to troll someone? No.

He already has a new acting gig lined up. There is a reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger planned with interest from both CBS and the CW which carried Supernatural for 15 years.

According to one source:

In a very CBS way, the reboot will “explore morality, family, and rediscovering our lost common ground,” and the noble Cordell Walker will be a “broken widower and father of two” with his “own moral code to fight for what’s right, regardless of the rules.”

Cordell Walker will also have a love interest. No. Sorry. The part probably will not be played by Jensen Ackles but it would be cool if they could bring him to the project. I haven’t seen any speculation to who will be playing Cordell’s female partner.

Anna Fricke is attached to write and executive produce the new series with Dan Lin also executive producing. Fricke, who is currently under an overall deal at CBS TV Studios, previously co-created the Syfy series “Being Human” with her previous credits also including shows like “Wayward Pines” and “Valor.” So yeah, she is no slouch and the project most likely has legs.

What does the 79 year old Chuck Norris think of the project? I don’t know. But I would be shocked if he doesn’t wish Jared Padalecki well in the role.
