Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee is set to star in an animated project, providing the voice for the main character.
�??The Life and Times of Jimmy Jaxx�?? is an animated half hour which is loosely based on Lee�??s own life- a rocker trying to balance life on the rod with his home life. In the short, the character�??s tattoos come to life and lead him astray.
"I've always loved the animated world," Lee told Variety. "How fun and kooky is this gonna be, to combine some real-life experiences with some seriously over-the-top humor."
Lee is also listed as a producer on �??Jaxx�?? and gave the writers much material to use in the piece, including a story about when he filled the bathtub up with Cherry Icees and accidentally dyed his children red.
Lee has two sons with ex-wife Pamela Anderson.
