Moyer to play 'Double,' rides to 'Big Valley' (HV)
By Nancy Tartaglione
Stephen Moyer is biting into two film roles, the Heat Vision blog reports. The "True Blood" star will appear opposite Richard Gere and Topher Grace in Hyde Park thriller "The Double" and will also saddle up for "The Big Valley" with Jessica Lange.
Per Heat Vision, "Double" is the directorial debut of writer Michael Brandt and will see Moyer as a Russian spy in a story that centers on a retired CIA operative forced to partner with a young FBI agent to hunt down the killer of a senator in Washington.
Next month, Moyer will head to Louisiana for "Valley," a big-screen adaptation on the 1960s ABC series that starred Barbara Stanwyck, Linda Evans and Lee Majors.
Moyer will play Jarrod Barkley, the lawyer in the family who represents ranchers fighting to keep their land from being taken by railroad companies. The role was created by Richard Long on the TV show.
Daniel Adams wrote the screenplay and is directing.
