Tony Hale and Thomas Lennon are the latest actors to join Clint Eastwood project The 15:17 to Paris, the true life story of three Americans who stopped a terrorist on a Paris-bound train.
Tony Hale is most known for playing Buster in Arrested Development and Gary Walsh in Veep, for which Hale yesterday received his fifth Emmy nomination. It is the seventh project in the works for Thomas Lennon.
According to Variety, “Hale will play a gym teacher and Lennon will play the principal at the school where the men went to school as kids“.
The casting of Hale and Lennon is more conventional than Eastwood’s last move, which saw him sign on real life heroes Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone to portray themselves. They join Jenna Fischer and Judy Greer, with whom Hale has worked alongside in Arrested Development.
The 15:17 to Paris is now in production.
