When Jacob, a genteel theater actor, becomes a mob boss through mistaken identity. He is forced to work with Mia a police detective, in order to incarcerate the notorious Big Bamzy and save his own life. This is a logline for the narrative of a 10 episode TV comedy series.

Thought I’d mention that the last sentence is not part of the logline and was mistakenly pasted with the logline submission but I only realized after submitting it.
Thanks Nir.

When a genteel actor is mistaken for a mob boss, he must work with the police to incarcerate the real mobster and save his life.
Very cool, my suggestion is to make the detective memorable with a one word descriptor: sexy, one-eyed, Amazonian, super-model, you know, interesting!
A good concept, Plenty of room for laughs. “The man who new to little” with Bill Murray had a similar premise except he’s mistaken for a super spy not a mob boss; you might want to check out that movie, but overall this idea is different enough I think it will work well.
Good luck with this!
I really like the idea.
Thanks for the reply guys.
In your mind does this logline need a more specific description or mention of the antagonist?

Drop the when, it’s not needed, and makes the first sentance ready funky. Unless you add a comma after identity, and lowercase the h in he. Don;t take this the wrong way, this idea has been done time-and-time again. Maybe think of a twist to incoperate, and seperate yours from the rest.
