Updated:Two more character actors have joined the cast -
Brett Cullen (he played Goodwin Stanhope on Lost) will play a priest and
Chris Ellis (dozens of t.v. & film roles) as a judge.
Brett Cullen and
Chris Ellis now round out the cast for currently shooting blockbuster sequel. Both are longtime character actors, with Cullen known to
Lost-heads as Goodwin Stanhope and more recently to others as Mark on
Make It Or Break It (admit it, you watch the show). As for Ellis youve probably seen him a dozen times or more on the big and small screen but didnt realize it. Dude works non-stop, but well remember him as the scuzzy J.T. in
My Cousin Vinny (the dude Vinny has to fight for money). Cullen will put on robes as a judge in the movie, while Ellis will don a cassock as a priest. Small casting updates on
The Dark Knight Rises came in over the weekend and as
Chris Nolan has a penchant for doing he's bringing in some forgotten faces he remembers from 80's cinema into his movies.
Variety got the scoop earlier that
Matthew Modine (probably best known for his role as Private Joker in Full Metal Jacket nearly a quarter of a century ago) and Scottish thesp
Tom Conti (who Nolan probably remembers from Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence which he co-starred with David Bowie in 1983) are on board. Modine will play a character named Nixon but we don't know a great deal about who Conti will play. Child actor
Joey King is also cast. Meanwhile
The Daily Record say Nolan is bringing filming on The Dark Knight Rises to Glasgow next month once shooting in London is complete. And let's not forget we got our
first official look at Bane on Friday, the first real marketing on next summer's blockbuster.
