Vance, who has been training for his physically demanding role,  informed the news outlet that the show will feature “fast paced, action packed, car chases. Stunts. Fights, beautiful girls, villains, heroes, [and] guns.  It should be a lot of fun!”  Transporter, the TV series, will kick off filming on location in Canada and Europe.  The series is expected to make its debut on Cinemax next year.
