The Hollywood Reporter had two interesting casting news breaks today involving two blond pretty boy TV actors who've had a small amount of success on the big screen.
First up Scott Speedman, best known for his role as Ben in "Felicity" and film roles in "Dark Blue" and "Underworld", has joined the cast of the "xXx" sequel. Speedman, Nona Gaye and Sunny Mabrey have just been added to the already solid casting list including Ice Cube, Samuel L. Jackson, Willem Dafoe and Michael Roof. The latest installment, penned by Simon Kinberg ("Mr. and Mrs. Smith"), is largely set in Washington and is described as a thriller.
Meanwhile UK "Queer as Folk" twink poster child Charlie Hunnam ("Nicholas Nickleby", "Cold Mountain"), who recently finished a lead role opposite Elijah Wood in "The Yank", has signed to round out Jennifer Aniston's love-interest list in the 'sort of ' sequel to "The Graduate". The Ted Griffin written & directed project stars Aniston as a young woman who discovers that her family's darkest secret was the inspiration for the book and movie "The Graduate" and that she may have been the biological offspring of that scandal. Shooting begins shortly.
