Actually he still was.
"Why do they call you Red?"
"Because I am Irish."
I do not care as long as it is a good series, and as mentioned earlier not a Shaft reinvention.

KOJAK starring Telly Savalis a bald police detective (New York?) with an attitude and a sweet tooth for lollipops.
KOLCHAK: The Night Stalker Starring Darren McGavin a detective tracking ghosts and supernatural stuff is what you were thinking of.

Yeah, Kolchak was the bad FBI agent on X-Files who lost his arm and got possessed by the black oil.

Kojak scoured the streets of San Francisco with his partner, who was the son of actor Lloyd Bridges.
Kolchak was about this private investigator who could turn into animals.
I wish you all would check your facts before posting. Morans!!

I think this could work. Jojak is a big bald guy with attitude that hates street punks. Sounds to me like Rhames could handle that.
It least it's better than Wild Wild West with Will Smith...
