'Lookwell': Private Investigator

Tell a story with dialogue starring Adam West as Lookwell, an actor who starred in a ’70s TV cop drama, “Bannigan.” Ty Lookwell is desperately trying to reignite his career, and cling to his leading-man looks. (We often see Lookwell checking under his chin for neck flange.) Lacking work, Lookwell goes off the rails a bit, believing that having played a cop on TV, he can actually solve crimes in real life. (His chief justification: At the height of his “Bannigan” fame, he was once made an honorary member of the LAPD “at a formal ceremony in Television City.”) Lookwell puts on the most ridiculous disguises to get the job done. Lookwell teaches an acting class and uses his student Jason as his assistant in his investigations, making him do the grunt work. Jason is not without his sarcastic observations on the absurdity of it all. Lookwell somehow always manages to solve investigations, but by accident, making absurd connections and coming to bizarre conclusions. Sometimes Lookwell speaks in low, stentorian tones during a dramatic moment. Invariably Lookwell’s exit line, after “helping” to clear up a case, is something along the lines of: “If you need me, here’s my head shot.” If the user gives plot idea or element use it for the plot.
