CBS' Upcoming 'Chaos' an Update of 'Four Musketeers'
Date: January 14th,2011 by Lesley Goldberg
PASADENA -- The Four Musketeers are alive and well thanks to Tom Spezialy’s new CBS action drama Chaos.
The creator/exec producer said the Musketeers films of the 1970s greatly influenced the rookie series starring Freddy Rodriguez, Tim Blake Nelson, Eric Close and James Murray.
“I’d always been a big fan of The Four Musketeers and wanted to do an updating of it,” he said Friday during TCA. “I was doing research for another CIA show and reading about the story of an operative. On the cover it said, ‘They spent a lot of money, killed a lot of people and accomplished nothing.’ ”
Spezialy noted that he went back and rewatched Richard Lester’s Four Musketeers films from the ’70s to get into the proper “mindset” before writing the pilot for Chaos.
“It can be quiet at times or silly at times,” he said, adding that Wes Anderson, Alexander Payne and Mike Nichols also influenced him on the series.
Spezialy also noted that the series, which filmed in Vancouver, isn’t a parody of real CIA operatives and will focus more on the action and the team’s ability improvise rather than the heavy technology that’s typically featured on other series.
Chaos premieres April 1 on CBS.

CHAOS (CBS) - James Murray has joined the cast of the drama pilot, about "a group of rogue CIA operatives combating bureaucratic gridlock, rampant incompetence and political infighting." He'll play Billy Collins, "a gregarious, hard living, charmer committed to nourishing his inner-devil over his inner-child" who used to work for the British Secret Service. Freddy Rodriguez also stars in the Tom Spezialy-penned hour, which comes from 20th Century Fox Television. Brett Ratner is directing.

Winter 2011 TCA Press Tour: Day 10 – or – The Day Will Hit the Wall
by Will Harris Premium Hollywood 15th January, 2011
Q: Freddy, describe what happens when you read a script that says, "Next, Rick eats a scorpion." What was that like? And when you filmed it…I'm sure you didn't eat a scorpion, but whatever you were holding…
Freddy Rodriquez: How are you so sure?
Q: It looked realistic. You were holding something that was wiggly and scary. Just describe what it was like when you heard you were going to do it and what it was like to do that scene.
Freddy Rodriquez: Well, to be honest, I wasn't sure what it was going to be when I got there. And when I got there, if you remember, Tom…
Tom Spezialy: Oh, I remember.
Freddy Rodriguez: …it was a real scorpion. I had a slight anxiety attack, to be honest, right? And then I got over it. And then I asked Brett Ratner to hold it. I would do it if he would hold it, and he refused, and we had an exchange. And after a while I got over it, and it was fun. I mean, when I read the script, there were so many great things that my character was doing in the pilot that I had to be involved even if it had to do with holding a scorpion. It was a real scorpion. I think they put Krazy Glue on the stinger, (but), yeah, it was real.
Q: What does it look like to see that thing wiggling in front of your eyes?
Freddy Rodriguez: Scary. It's scary.
Tom Spezialy: It peed on him.
Freddy Rodriguez: Oh, yeah, it did. At one point in the night, it just…I didn't enjoy the experience…it started peeing on me. And I didn't know what it was. I just thought it was, like, spraying me with some sort of poison or…I wasn't sure what it was, but it was urine.
Eric Close: Are you sure it was urine?
Freddy Rodriguez: Yeah, it was urine. Gave me golden sunshine, I guess.
CHAOS - THE SERIES
CHAOS is a comedic drama about a group of rogue CIA spies in the Clandestine Administration and Oversight Services (CHAOS), who combat threats to national security amidst bureaucratic gridlock, rampant incompetence and political infighting. The team tackles high risk foreign intelligence missions using manipulation, deception and wit to succeed. Rick Martinez was dismayed when his dream job as a spy was eliminated on his first day. However, CIA Deputy Director H.J. Higgins, a calculating mastermind and the head of CHAOS, recognizes Rick’s unique skill set and places him as an unwitting mole inside the department. Martinez joins the team under Michael Dorset, a psychologist turned CIA operative and a tactical genius motivated by pure paranoia. Working with Martinez is Scottish-born Billy Collins, de-commissioned from the British Secret Service and deported from the United Kingdom; Casey Malick, a 12 year veteran of the agency with an understated demeanor and the ability to transform into a “human weapon.” While Martinez’s instincts on who he can trust are constantly tested, he may have a worthy confidant in the new Deputy Director, Adele Ferrer, who seems to have his best interests at heart. Or should he rely on officer Fay Carson, an alluring agent and an expert at deciphering people’s “tells?” Attacking each assignment with unparalleled confidence and gusto, these operatives perform covert operations, exert political influence and eradicate all manner of evil – and that’s just to survive the morning staff meeting.
CHAOS premieres on Friday, April 1 at 8/7c on CBS.
