Today, it gives me great pleasure to announce: We have our Frank!​

Pictured above (looking suave, tough, and all sorts of charming) is Chris Vance as Frank Martin, The Transporter. He delivers anything, anywhere, no questions asked – for a price.​

We auditioned a ton of very talented actors for the part but, ultimately, Chris stood out as, well, just damn perfect for the role. And once Transporter: The Series premieres in early 2012, I know you’ll agree.​

In other Transporter: The Series casting news...

The beautiful Andrea Osvart has signed on to play the role of Carla, Frank’s handler and partner in danger. Again, we saw some terrific talent in the auditions but, in the end, it was Andrea’s smart, sexy, self-confident portrayal of our ex-CIA op that won everyone over.​

Chris Vance is a pretty cool actor though. I enjoyed him in Dexter and Prison Break. I'll give this series a look, it's proving surprisingly interesting.

As long as this Chris Vance looks good shirtless as Jason Stratham does then, it is possible.

Personally, I don't think this series will last very long. Prove me wrong!
