John Stamos will play a lawyer on NBC

A series based on forthcoming novel "I Am Victor" by Norwegian author Jo Nesbo is going to be developed for NBC. John Stamos, known for his roles "Full House", "E.R." and "Glee," is set to play the lead role.

Stamos is in talks to play Victor Port, a charming divorce lawyer who has something in common with Dr. House: saying out loud what others only dare think.

This new show will be written by Mark Goffman, the screenwriter of "The West Wing," and produced by the former producer of "House M.D."
