Clint Morris from MovieHole recently alerted us that Joel Edgerton will be joining the expansive cast of Smokin' Aces. Though there are sure to be many of you who have not heard of Joel Edgerton, the Australian actor has already had minor appearances in films such as Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, as young Owen Lars, and King Arthur, as one of Arthur's knights, Gawain.
Edgerton in Smokin' Aces
Australian actor Joel Edgerton (Kinky Boots) says he’ll be co-starring in Joe Carnahan’s next film Smokin’ Aces.
"I've got this tiny under-the-radar kind of role in Smokin' Aces, this movie that Joe Carnahan directed and that I'm really looking forward to seeing.
What's interesting is that it's got this incredible cast - Ray Liotta, Ben Affleck, Alicia Keys, this rapper called Common, Jeremy Piven, Andy Garcia, Martin Henderson - but there's all this debate on the IMDB about who's in it and what it's about. Every now and then, someone will write some nasty comment on there and Joe Carnahan himself will make a rebuttal. "No, it's not like that at all, it's like this..." He's getting involved, geeing up the fans."
