In what would be his first television series role, actor Dennis Quaid is in talks to join an untitled cowboy project at CBS, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Also in talks for the project is Michael Chiklis, who would take his first show role since ABC’s "No Ordinary Family" went off the air last year, the story says.

The project is a 1960s period piece about Ralph Lamb, a rodeo cowboy who became a longtime sheriff in Las Vegas, the story notes. Quaid would star, while Chiklis would play a mobster from Chicago who has moved to Las Vegas, the piece adds.
