James Caan leads a Fantasy Life

James Caan (“Las Vegas”) is returning to TV for a co-starring role on Fox’s “Fantasy Life”.

The show stars Kevin Connolly and Vanessa Williams, and is based on the memoir by one of U.S.’ top fantasy experts, ESPN’s Matthew Berry.

When hard-working Mitch (Connolly) lands his ultimate dream job hosting a fantasy football show, he’s forced to navigate office politics while becoming the star he never thought he could be. Caan plays the tough and humorless Chuck, an ex-legendary football player/coach who’s on Mitch’s new team working on Fox’s fantasy football league show. Chuck doesn’t get fantasy football since he played real football and suffered real pain, however, Mitch eventually impresses him, and the former football star is willing to work with him. Williams plays Mitch’s new boss.

The pilot reunites Caan with Fox, who he did “Back in the Game” with.
