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.
