Ed Harris and Amy Madigan have joined the cast of World Wrestling Entertainment’s family drama “Big Red.”
WWE star Randy Orton is featured in the film, set during the mid-1960s, about a bright 12-year-old boy whose English teacher (Harris) pairs him up on a project with the school’s biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley (“Big Red”). When Andy watches Stanley fearlessly confront a school bully, a series of events is unleashed that changes the lives of the boys and their teacher.

Madigan will play the school’s principal, while Orton portrays the father of the bully who campaigns to get the teacher fired.

Chase Ellison (“Tooth Fairy”), Daniel Roebuck (“Final Destination”), Molly Parker (HBO’s “Deadwood”) and Mia Rose Frampton (ABC Family’s “Make It or Break It”) round out the cast.

PUNTER – RANDY ORTON
Having a great punter helps their team control the field position battle. Similarly, The Viper has used the “head punt” to his advantage, leading to many victories, as well as sending many rivals and WWE Legends into nearby medical facilities. Orton’s abilities will give “All-WWE Team” opponents headaches – literally.

FanHouse conducted a recent interview with the current WWE Champion, Shameus and in it he mentioned Randy:

If somebody had told you a year ago that not only would you be brought up to the main roster but you would beat John Cena to become the WWE Champion, what would you have said?
I would have said how quickly? (laughing) I’ve been telling people since day one that I would become WWE Champion. I’ve been telling people here, anyone who would listen, that I didn’t come all the way over here from Ireland and leave my home, my family, my house, friends, everything — the beautiful rain everyday and overcast skies — that to come to America to be part of a roster just to make up a couple of numbers. From day one, it’s always been serious for me. My goal has always been WWE Champion. People think right now I’m going to rest on those laurels and think “oh, another WWE Champion that can sit back” has another thing coming. My goal now is to be the best WWE Champion there ever has been, the longest reigning WWE champion. This Sunday at the Royal Rumble when I step in the ring with Randy Orton, he’s going to realize there is a changing of the guard. He’s going to realize there is someone more vicious, more vindictive then him. Just like St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland, I’m going to step all over that viper and let him know who is the greatest WWE Champion.

Freddie Prinze, Jr. appeared on Wednesday’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” in support of this weekend’s “24? season premiere, and a discussion of his WWE stint became a highlight of the conversation.

Prinze, Jr. expressed legitimate glee over his eight month tenure as a creative team member, noting that anyone who has seen Andre the Giant can attest to the magic of wrestling.

He joked that he currently has more friends in wrestling than in Hollywood; Undertaker, for instance, was one of the individuals who sent a congratulatory text when Prinze, Jr.’s wife was pregnant.

After calling the WWE roster the best group of guys and girls with whom one could hope to work, the actor identified Randy Orton as his favorite Superstar, referencing the on-air interaction they had when he guest-hosted RAW. The Orton mention got a nearly non-existent pop from the crowd.
