I am – Hercules!!


Jackie Earle Haley, who plays the troubled superhero Roschach in “Watchmen,” will play an “information gatherer” in Fox’s pilot for “Human Target,” which happens to be another project based on a DC comic book.

It’s another unexpected career turn for Haley, who received an Oscar nomination two years ago for his work in 2006’s “Little Children.”

Mark Valley, who plays FBI agent Olivia Dunham’s evil dead boyfriend on “Fringe,” will play title character Christopher Chance.

Chance, introduced in a 1972 issue of Action Comics, makes his living impersonating those marked for murder. He’s appeared in a number of short-lived DC Vertigo titles since 1999.

If the project goes to series, it will be the second TV chance for Chance, who was played by Rick Springfield in seven episodes of an ABC “Human Target” in the summer of 1992.

The Fox pilot was penned by somebody named Jon Steinberg.
