Vinnie Jones' TV Projects Include 'Chuck' THR

British actor Vinnie Jones has been cast on NBC's "Chuck" playing Karl Stromberg -- and the reference to a villain from James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me" is likely intentional -- described as a hit man with a soft side, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jones also is developing a TV series based on a new comic book about a guy named Jake Noble, an espionage agent who partners with the long-lost daughters he never knew he had.
