Jean-Claude Van Damme is heading to the small screen, with the Muscles from Brussels signing on to play a version of himself in the Amazon original comedy series Jean-Claude Van Johnson.
The project is being written and executive produced by Dave Callaham (The Expendables) and will see JCVD as a “famous actor and martial-arts pro who comes out of retirement to resume his alter-ego: an undercover private contractor by the name of Jean-Claude Van Johnson. The comedy-action thriller will see Johnson’s cover as the lead role in a reimagined action film version of Huckleberry Finn that lands him back in the midst of the danger he secretly always craves. It also brings him back in the orbit of Vanessa, his fellow operative and the love of his life that got away.”
Jean-Claude Van Johnson will mark Van Damme’s first small screen role, although he has previously headlined the reality series Jean-Claude Van Damme: Behind Closed Doors, which aired in Britain in 2011.
