HE won plenty of fans on Channel 9's naval drama Sea Patrol, now David Lyons (right) has landed the lead role as a masked crime fighter in a new US TV series.

Former Geelong boy Lyons has nabbed the key role in the NBC pilot The Cape.

The Cape centres on Vince Faraday, played by Lyons, a former cop set up as a criminal who becomes a masked hero to clear his name and reunite with his son.

The Cape is not Lyons' first TV role in the US.

He played Simon Brenner in the final season of the hit medical drama, ER.

He also filmed a small role in the movie adaptation of the novel Eat, Love, Pray, in Bali in October.

The film stars Julia Roberts, James Franco, Billy Crudup and Javier Bardem.
