John Doe
Fridays 9:00 PM on WVAH Fox 11

"So what am I? Escaped mental patient? Alien that sees in black and white? Government lobotomy experiment? What else was I to think? For a guy who had all the answers, I didn't have the ones that mattered the most."
- John Doe


John Doe photo From writers Brandon Camp and Mike Thompson ("Dragonfly") and director Mimi Leder ("Pay It Forward," "Deep Impact," "The Peacemaker") comes the story of John Doe, a mysterious man who rises from the primordial waters of an isolated island, possessing knowledge of literally everything in the world, yet having no memory of who - or even what - he is. Doe quickly finds his way to Seattle, where he befriends the police and uses his special gift to help them solve "impossible" crimes each week, while continuing his unending quest to uncover who he is and where he came from.

Despite his considerable charm, John Doe (Dominic Purcell) is an emotional island unto himself. Want to know the population of Peru in 1853? How many blue cars there are in the state of Washington? The exact ingredients in a box of Apple Jacks? Or better yet, predict which horse will win every race at the track based on knowing all the statistical variables? Doe has all the answers. But what is he like? Family man or loner? Hero or villain? What is truly in his soul? Doe doesn't have a clue.

In his search to unlock the key to his past, Doe is joined by Karen Kawalski (Sprague Grayden), his unwitting assistant and one of his few friends. Together they work to piece together the case of a missing girl who Doe mysteriously feels may have some connection to his previous life, or hold a clue to his identity. Doe's small circle of friends also includes Digger (William Forsythe), a Seattle bar owner who is one of his few confidants. Doe's extraordinary talents catch the eye of Frank Hayes (John Marshall Jones), the cop assigned to the case who sees something special in this odd stranger. Hayes' boss, LT. Jamie Avery (Jayne Brook), on the other hand, is not as easily convinced that Doe is on the straight and narrow and seeks to uncover the truth about him in her own way.

He may be a government agent, an extraterrestrial or perhaps just a regular John Doe with a bout of amnesia. Whatever secrets his past holds, Doe is now the man who knows everything - a gift that will forever change his destiny. But will it be a blessing or a curse?
