ER alum John Stamos is returning to NBC as the lead of I Am Victor, a drama pilot from former House executive producer Katie Jacobs and bestselling Norwegian novelist Jo Nesbo. Stamos is in final negotiations for the project, written by Mark Goffman based on Nesbo’s book. It centers on Victor Port (Stamos), a high powered divorce attorney with a unique view of relationships. Quick, charming, disarming, brazen and direct, he unapologetically says what most people think, but dare not say, and the methods he uses on behalf of his clients are anything from jurisprudence and artful negotiation to manipulation and pure extortion. Nesbo, Jacobs, Daniel Rappaport and Meghan Lyvers and Niclas Salomonsson executive produce for Universal TV.
Stamos, repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment, already is in business with NBC — he is recurring on comedy The New Normal. The actor, coming off a Broadway run in The Best Man, was sought after for pilots, fielding four offers before settling on I Am Victor.

Why do they do this. Please someone tell me why? The dude gets a pilot every year and every year it flops. But I guess NBC finishing 5th in sweeps explains it all. #SMH
Ever had a meeting w/Jen Salke? Oy. That’s why they do it.
Ha. So very true indeed.
Paging Arnie Becker. Seems like a perfect fit for Stamos if the writing can match his chops.
In other words, Stamos is playing a cross between the Corbin Bernsen character on LA Law and the James Spader character on Boston Legal. Trailblazing!
Really? We’re referencing John Stamos as an ER alum when he will be forever known as Uncle Jesse to a generation of 30-somethings?
I love John Stamos. He’s great. All the best to him! I hope this gets picked up.
Saw this “dude” on broadway. He’s legit. He’s also a proven actor on many a successful series. The mental math ain’t that hard. Good for him.
proven actor? maybe. Proven lead? Not in a million freaking years.
I love John Stamos because he is so cute and handsome.
John Stamos is so amazing on full house the tv show that also has Dave Collier,the twins Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, Bob Saget,also the twins Blake Dylan Tuomy-Wilholt,Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Lori Loughlin, Andrea Barber and Scott Weinger are all on full house.
I know what you are about to say that those are some weird last names of the full house crew members.
John Stamos is OK.
This seems like a complete miscast.
Seems like a perfect choice.
From John Cusack to John Stamos. LMAO.
Gee – I remember him as. Blackie on General Hospital!
do you act he rocks so fo
Yogurt dude is now the main course.
I hate the premise of the show but I do like John stamos…
So Dr. House got a law degree?
This pilot is great. Stamos will be sexy, funny and perfect in it…
Sounds a hell of a lot like the Alan Shore character James Spader played on The Practice and Boston Legal.
A better looking Dr. HOUSE.
He is a great actor and they are lucky to have him. Good for him. Hope it works out. I will definitely watch.
ER alum? Even on ER I only saw him as Uncle Jesse.
I love John Stamos, but that’s a really stupid title. May as well be called “I Am Cancelled.”
do not pick on John Stamos, you do not sound like a fan to me at all. so shut up
Blackie Parrish becomes a lawyer.. love it and love John Stamos
As I’ve never watched Full House or GH (so am oblivious to all of the Uncle Jesse/Blackie references) & have only seen Mr Stamos in ER & Glee I have to say I’m looking forward to this!! I’m hoping I am Victor makes it to the UK! The TV world has been lacking in Legal series since the demise of LA Law & Boston Legal & to have an attorney with the cunning of House, combined with the suave of Alan Shore topped with hair sent by the Gods on Mt Olympus themselves is simply going to ROCK!
John, I know you’ll give it your best shot! Lets hope they can handle you!!!!
would like to see john get his chance to totally explode! go get em, john you are not only hansome but full o f talent. l, ll be waiting good luck.
I dont watch television but have had the pleasure of working with Mr Stamos as an Advocate for Project Cuddle and i guarantee you! Mr Stamos will Own this role!!
Stamos is not an actor. He is an ad for yogurt.
you didn’t get your pilot then huh!!! Have you seen this actor on Broadway? He’s phenomenal….poor you!!!
