Bowler's star continues to rise especially in the USA where the new TV series he will star in
Defiance, a futuristic thriller will be broadcast on NBC later this year.
The New Zealand born actor has had a dream run, despite the
film
Atlas Shrugged Part 1, based on the book by right wing nutter
Ayn Rand flopping dismally at the box office. When the the Defiance series was first offered to NBC word came down from Chairman
Robert Greenblatt that the network would snap up the series as long as Bowler took the lead role. Greenblatt has been a long time fan of Outrageous Fortune and treasures his DVD collection of the series which he regularly brings out on weekends at his summer retreat in The Hamptons to screen for friends.
