‘The Rockford Files’: David Boreanaz Finds Next Role After ‘SEAL Team’ in NBC Reboot

David Boreanaz has a history of long-running shows. He played Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for three seasons, then on his own spinoff for five. Then he starred as FBI Agent Seeley Booth on Bones for 12 seasons. He followed that with seven seasons as Jason Hayes on SEAL Team, which ended in 2024. Might The Rockford Files be next?

Well, so far, the reboot of the classic series has only received a pilot order, but David Boreanaz has been cast in the lead role. He’ll star as James Rockford, the witty, world-weary, and chronically broke private investigator whose charmingly gruff exterior masked a strong moral core. The original series aired six seasons, from 1974 to 1980, and starred James Garner.
