20 Actors Who Will CRUSH Upcoming Movie Roles
6. Ben Foster - The Stunt Driver
There are a few movies set to feature legendary stuntman Evel Knievel currently in development, one of which is The Stunt Driver - a biopic of ill-fated Canadian stunt driver Ken Carter (Jay Baruchel).
Evel Knievel will have a supporting role in the film, where he's to be played by the great Ben Foster - a phenomenally underappreciated actor with a singular knack for portraying intense, often unhinged characters.
Even though Foster will be playing a smaller part in the movie, he could very well run away with it if he's given the floor to deliver the physically committed, raw performance we all know him capable of.
Foster's penchant for playing characters who are intensely obsessed with something should leave him in excellent stead here, enough that we might end up wishing he played the part in a more expansive leading role.
As for the in-the-works Evil Knievel biopic from Damien Chazelle? Leonardo DiCaprio and more recently Glen Powell have been in talks for the role.
