David Boreanaz is bringing the Boreanaz name into the world of classic TV reboots — his son Jaden is right there with him. The Bones star has revealed that his kid landed a role in the pilot of NBC's The Rockford Files reboot, the highly anticipated revival of James Garner's iconic detective series.
Jaden apparently didn't go easy on his famous dad during filming. Boreanaz has said his son "roughed him up" on set.
Boreanaz stepped into the role of Jim Rockford for the modern remake. James Garner's daughter Gigi gifted him one of her late father's cherished sets of worry beads after he took on the iconic role.
Worry beads that once belonged to the man who defined the character is a rare acknowledgment of the reboot's legitimacy.
Boreanaz's decision to include Jaden in the project shows his commitment to the legacy. Whether this becomes a regular occurrence on set remains to be seen.
