James Pitt Rides Into New Territory with Grit and Guts in Upcoming Series CRACKER

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- James Pitt, renowned for his compelling performances in Avatar, NCIS, and Close to Home, is making a significant leap behind the camera with his latest project, CRACKER. This original series, set against the rich tapestry of Florida's 500-year-old cattle culture, marks Pitt's evolution from seasoned actor to innovative filmmaker.

CRACKER follows the journey of Matthew "Math" Albritton, a former military operative who, after a harrowing mission in the Middle East, seeks solace on his family's Florida cattle ranch. Unbeknownst to him, he steps into a world rife with corrupt politicians, dangerous mafioso, and a justice system teetering on the edge.

Pitt's dedication to authenticity is evident not just in his storytelling but also in his personal journey. A U.S. Coast Guard veteran, Pitt brings a wealth of real-life experience to his work. His accolades include a Best Actor nomination at the 2013 Idyllwild Cinefest for There / Not There and a Best Actor award at the 2023 LA Indies Fest for Because of This, a project he also produced.

Filming for the CRACKER pilot is slated to commence in January 2026, with the project already garnering substantial support from backers in Hollywood & Florida.
