Patrick Swayze’s FBI Drama "Beast" In Production This Summer
Fans of Patrick Swayze and A&E take heart, as his FBI drama, The Beast, is set to begin production this month despite his cancer. Swayze, his doctors and the network have full confidence in the actor’s abilities.
Pancreatic cancer is a serious condition, but it seems Swayze, with the help of his doctors (and probably a lot of fan prayers) have put him in a favorable position to stem the tide.
Patrick has said in so many words that he is totally committed to this role, and “can’t wait to get to work…”, according to an email he sent to project reps. He’s also been working on his ranch while in recovery. What a guy.
In his first TV role, Swayze will portray an unconventional FBI agent and mentor to a “newcomer’ agent portrayed by Travis Fimmel. There is no change in the script, according to Zack Van Amburg, co-President of Sony’s television studio, because they felt they must be true to the story, which is amazing news for fans who have been drawn to this because of Swayze.
Notably, the series, The Beast, will be lensed in Chicago,and although Swayze will still continue his treatment regimen, network reps have noted they will not do anything to hinder his recovery, and that they believe in karma. It’s pretty cool when a network believes in karma. Were we all to believe it! You can read the article here at the N.Y.Times.
