Jared Padalecki will play painter Thomas Kinkade in
The Christmas Cottage.
He joins the previously cast Peter O'Toole in the movie to be directed by
Michael Campus. Padalecki has a lead role in the second season of
Supernatural and had roles in the horror movies
House of Wax,
Cry_Wolf and the remake of
The Flight of Phoenix.
Based on the life of Kinkade and his painting of the same name, Padalecki plays one of America's most collected living artists who used his gift as an artist to portray his life-affirming values and explore the world around him.
It's come out that the film is only the first of a three picture deal between Lionsage and Kinkade, with two further sequels planned that will depict the painter at different stages of his life and career. source -
