"CBS&amp;#039;s mooted Beverly Hills Cop TV series has cast a lead actor. Brandon T Jackson will take on the role of Aaron, the son of Eddie Murphy&amp;#039;s original Beverly Hills Cop character Axel Foley, reports Deadline. Murphy will also reprise his role as Axel in the pilot, and is likely to recur if the show goes to series. He is reported to have personally suggested stand-up comedian Jackson - whose previous credits include Tropic Thunder and Percy Jackson &amp;amp; the Olympians: The Lightning Thief - for the role. Jackson was reported to be in early talks for the role last month. It is believed that a green light for the Beverly Hills Cop pilot is largely a formality as soon as showrunner Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Last Resort) delivers a script. Murphy and Ryan are also co-executive producers on the Sony TV project, along with Ryan&amp;#039;s business partner Marney Hochman.
