LOS ANGELES, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Veteran actor Scott Baio, whose roles have taken him from "Bugsy Malone" to "Happy Days," was in talks about returning to TV in a comedy for NBC.

NBC has given a script commitment to the show in which Baio, 43, moves in with a friend in his 20s and "turns his life around," The Hollywood Reporter said. "The Simpsons" Jace Richdale has signed on as executive producer, but whether the series would go forward was not certain.

Baio's movie credits include "Bugsy Malone" and "SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2." He spent several seasons on TV as Dr. Jack Stewart in "Diagnosis Murder" and is best know as Charles "Chachi" Arcola in the long-running "Happy Days."
