The former star of HBO’s "Arliss" is branching out into a new endeavor as a sports talk radio host for Westwood One, reports The New York Times.

Robert Wuhl will use his performing skills and sports knowledge–traits he applied to "Arliss" as a fictional sports agent–when he launches his three-hour show in January. The show will air weekdays from 3-6 p.m. ET.

Wuhl told The Times, “I can do sports talk, but I can also talk about movies and politics. It’s not filtered. There are great hosts, like Dan Patrick, Jim Rome and Mike Francesa, but I come from a little different place. I joke that I can’t vote for the Heisman but I can vote for the Academy Awards.”
