EXCLUSIVE: Craig Horner, star of cult syndicated fantasy series Legend Of The Seeker, is set as the leading man in another potential dual-reality drama series. The Australian actor will play the title character in the CW drama pilot Joey Dakota. Based on the Israeli format Danny Hollywood, the romantic-time-travel-musical centers on Maya (Amber Stevens), a documentary filmmaker making a film about Joey Dakota, a rock star who met an untimely death in the 1990s. She travels back in time to the 1990s where she meets and falls in love with Joey and when she unexpectedly returns to present day, she must find her way back to the past to reunite with her love and prevent his death. This marks APA-repped Horner’s first gig since the end of Legend of The Seeker in 2010. The pilot was written by Bert Royal, with CBS TV Studios and Harmon/Tannenbaum producing.

GO CRAIG!!! LOVE YOU ON LEGEND OF THE SEEKER!!!
Yes! Cut the hair and then go for it. And maybe lose the shirt along the way
I heard he has a good singing voice. He did well on LoS. Wish him and The CW well with this series, if it goes to series.
YAY!! Finally Craig will be back on my TV!!! <3<3<3 Love you Craigee!!
He’s cute, but Bert Royal is an incredibly overrated writer. The CW is a perfect place for someone of his skills.
Wooooohoooooooooooo Craig Horner!! Lovely man!<333333
Craig Horner has the whole Legend Of The Seeker fandom behind him, so anything he does musically or acting is going to have a big following! So happy he’ll be back on tv again! Craig will also be making a personal appearance at WonderCon2012 April 17th & 18th to sign autographs and take photos. Details at seekersword.com
Oops, quick edit. Craig Horner will be appearing at WonderCon on MARCH 17th & 18th, not April. Sorry about that!
Good for him!
Wasn’t Joey Dakota the movie star that came to Bayside High School to shoot a drug PSA and ended up trying to get Kelly Kapowski to do coke?
Craig is super hot. Keep him shirtless or start each episode whim Craig in the shower. Hope the show happens.
SWEET MOTHER! Best news I’ve heard this entire pilot season! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Craig Horner! Didn’t miss Legend of the Seeker….and definitely will not miss Joey Dakota, either! Tremendous casting move, CW. Thank heavens, we’re already seeing such a stark contrast (for the better) in casting since the departure of Dawn to the Ostroff Clinic.
Good luck, Craig. Can’t wait to see the series!!!
Yay! Can’t wait to have Craig back on my tv =D
I don’t see how he is an over rated writer? ‘Easy A’ was one of the best comedies to come out in a LONG time and made Emma Stone a star. If that’s what being over rated writter dose, then sign me up.
This show just sounds better and better. And how exactly is the writter overrated? A hit movie ‘Easy A’ that helped turn Emma Stone into a household name, and a play that still gets done all over the US. That’s not overrated, that’s talent.
I wish legend of the seeker never came to an end.go Craig you are my hero!
I love Legend of the Seeker and I am so glad that Craig is doing another show!!! I love him in Legend of the Seeker!!!!
I love ur acting and keep it up.
