Hollywood actor Dustin Hoffman is all set to star in a new TV show.

The Oscar-winning actor has been cast in the pilot for drama 'Luck', in which he will play an 'intelligent, intuitive, tough man' who has a long history with gambling, reports contactmusic.com.

It will be the first time the 'Rainman' star will appear regularly in a television drama, although he did win an Emmy in 1986 for his performance in a TV version of the play 'Death of a Salesman'.

Hoffman, 72, will star alongside John Ortiz and Dennis Farina in the show, which will be produced by David Milch.
