Tim Robbins is teaming back up with HBO, with Deadline reporting that the actor—who recently starred in and produced the network’s short-lived nuclear comedy The Brink—will take the lead role opposite Holly Hunter in Alan Ball’s untitled new show for the network. True to Ball’s non-vampire M.O., Robbins will play Greg Bishop, the patriarch of a family of secretly miserable and hallucination-prone intellectuals, most of whom have been adopted by him and his wife, Angie (Hunter).
