British actor
Luke Evans is announced to star in
"The Amateur American", an action thriller written and directed by
Ross Katz. Evans will protray a young American living in Paris who accepts a job working for a 'shadowy employer' and soon finds himself framed for murder and caught up in a web of deceit.
Evans might be relatively unknown for most of us. Well, let me introduce him for you. Luke Evans is a 32 years old British actor who appeared in
Sex & Drugs & Rock n Roll, along with
Andy Serkis (yeah,
that Andy Serkis, the Gollum!). He also landed a small role in
"Clash of the Titans" as Apollo, one of the Twelve Olympians. His first leading role might be as Andy Cobb in
"Tamara Drewe" alongside
Gemma Arterton. But in 2011, his career starts to rise, as he landed a major role in
"The Raven" as Detective Emmett Fields. He also stars in the remake of
"The Three Musketeers" with
Logan Lerman,
Milla Jovovich,
Christoph Waltz, and
Orlando Bloom. Another movie with Evans this year is
"Immortals" in which he plays Zeus, along with the newly chosen Superman
Henry Cavill and
"Twilight" star
Kellan Lutz.
