Paramount Network does the lift, picks up a Patrick Swayze documentary

In just a couple years, the Paramount Network’s I Am documentary series has somehow turned into a long-running franchise, telling stories about Heath Ledger, Paul Walker, Richard Pryor, Chris Farley, Sam Kinison, Evil Knievel, Steve McQueen, Martin Luther King Jr., and John F. Kennedy Jr. (some of these things are not like the others). According to Deadline, the series will continue with I Am Patrick Swayze, a documentary about the life of the greatest dancer/surfing bank robber/bouncer/ghost in the history of Hollywood. The doc will feature interviews with Swayze’s “friends and loved ones,” including wife Lisa Niemi, brother Don Swayze (best known for looking a lot like his brother and for being a creepy boat guy on an episode of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia), and co-stars Sam Elliott, Jennifer Grey, C. Thomas Howell, Rob Lowe, Kelly Lynch, Demi Moore, Lori Petty, and Marshall R. Teague.
