John Stamos lands role in Fox sitcom pilot 'Little Brother'

FEBRUARY 10, 2012

After lots of discussions about projects John Stamos could be doing, there's finally word about one he will be doing. He's agreed to be in a pilot for a show called Little Brother for Fox. That Oikos yogurt commercial has really paid off.

Comedian T.J. Miller is the other lead actor in the sitcom, which will about Stamos finding out he has a half-brother who is an ex-con. The show will be written by Everybody Loves Raymond scribe Mike Royce, with a little input from Stamos.

If the show gets picked up, this will be Stamos' first recurring role since ER ended in 2009. He had a stint on Glee for a spell, and played Pastor Drew on Secrets of Eden, but there hasn't been anything solid for a couple years. His hair stylist is probably really glad to hear the news.
