  • SONS OF TUCSON - SYNOPSIS
SONS OF TUCSON
(Sundays, 9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT)

 

In the tradition of “Malcolm in the Middle” and “The Bernie Mac Show,” SONS OF TUCSON is a family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison. What begins as a simple business relationship evolves into a family like no other.

The three brothers find their dad-for-hire, RON SNUFFKIN (Tyler Labine), working at the local sporting goods store. Ron, a lovable slacker who can’t catch a break, is forced to draw from an array of skills and dig into a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the role of patriarch to the boys of the Gunderson family. GARY GUNDERSON (Frank Dolce), 11, is the bright and driven leader of the pack who is every bit the con man that his father is; BRANDON GUNDERSON (Matthew Levy), 13, is a committed optimist with a unique world view; and ROBBY GUNDERSON (Benjamin Stockham), 8, is a loose cannon who doesn’t respond well to authority.

While SONS OF TUCSON is grounded in the day-to-day challenges of a single-parent home, nothing in the Gunderson household is quite what it seems. An ongoing chess match between Ron and the boys keeps both parties on their toes, as neither side can afford to give up too much power or independence.

SONS OF TUCSON is created by Greg Bratman and Tommy Dewey, directed by three-time Emmy Award-winner Todd Holland and produced by 20th Century Fox Television and J2TV. Justin Berfield, Matthew Carlson, Jason Felts, Todd Holland and Harvey Myman serve as executive producers. 

 

Tyler Labine TYLER LABINE
(Ron Snuffkin on SONS OF TUCSON)

Tyler Labine is known for his recent turn on “Reaper” as “Bert ‘Sock’ Wysocki,” the quintessential slacker who enthusiastically aided his best friend in the hunt for escaped souls from hell. Labine’s other credits include “Invasion” and “Boston Legal.”

Labine was born in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, but grew up in Vancouver. He began his acting career in local theater before moving on to a number of television roles in series such as “Breaker High” and “That Was Then.” His film credits include “Flyboys,” “Trixie,” “Marine Life,” “Antitrust,” “My Boss’s Daughter,” “Mr. Rice’s Secret,” “The Zero Sum” and the made-for-television movie “Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of ‘Mork & Mindy.’” His upcoming films include “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy” and “Tucker & Dale vs Evil.”

In 2004, Labine produced the film “Everyone,” which won the Best Film Award at the Montreal Film Festival. He also executive-produced, starred in, wrote and co-directed the mockumentary “Extreme Walking.”

Labine enjoys music as much as acting. He and his brother Kyle, as well as friends Jeff Gustafson and Ryan Robbins, comprise the hip-hop band, “Self-Dep.” Labine is also an accomplished music producer and emcee.

Although he splits his time between Vancouver and Los Angeles, Labine remains close with his family, often enjoying snowboarding in British Columbia and vacationing at the family cottage in Ontario.
