John Stamos signed up for Jo Nesbo’s NBC pilot drama I am Victor

John Stamos (ER, Glee) will star as the lead of I Am Victor, an NBC TV drama based on an upcoming novel by the Norwegian best-selling crime novelist, Jo Nesbo.

Written by Mark Goffman (House), it centers on Victor Port (Stamos), a high powered divorce attorney with a unique view of relationships who says what most people think, but dare not say. I am Victor will be based on Nesbo’s book and has been described as “House as a divorce attorney”.

Jo Nesbo is best known for his best-selling series of detective Harry Hole novels but is not a stranger to the screen. His films Jackpot and Headhunters have both been successful films with the latter receiving a 2013 BAFTA nomination.
