John Stamos joins 'Necessary Roughness' Season 3, still doing an NBC pilot
13 March 2013 1:41 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
John Stamos is going to be a rather busy man in the next few months.
The former "ER" and "Full House" star has the lead role in NBC's drama pilot "I Am Victor," which is vying for a spot on the network's 2013-14 schedule. In addition to that, though, Stamos is joining USA's "Necessary Roughness" for its third season.
Stamos will recur on the show as the head of a powerful sports and entertainment management company. He takes note of the work Dani (Callie Thorne) has done with Tk (Mehcad Brooks) and the Hawks and tries to entice her to join his firm.
Season 3 of "Necessary Roughness" is set to air in the summer, so if "I Am Victor" goes to series on NBC the two shouldn't overlap.
Stamos has also guest-starred on another NBC show, "The New Normal," this season. »
