‘Lost’ Actor Joins Cast Of Indie Thriller
Harold Perrineau is coming off a mysterious island and moving into “The Killing Jar.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Perrineau, who played Michael Dawson over four seasons of “Lost,” has joined the cast of the upcoming indie thriller and will also executive produce.
The Morningstar Films project, which also stars Michael Madsen and Danny Trejo, revolves around a shotgun-wielding stranger who takes seven patrons hostage at a remote roadside diner. As the situation heats ups, the main players realize that one of the hostages may actually be more dangerous than their captor.
Perrineau will play one of the hostages, a travelling salesman named John.
Indie filmmaker Mark Young, who previously worked on the horror films “Tooth and Nail” and “Southern Gothic,” wrote the script and will direct.
Filming began this past weekend in North Carolina.
Perrineau, whose TV credits also include “Oz” and the upcoming ABC drama “The Unusuals,” has appeared in such movies as “28 Weeks Later,” the two “Matrix” sequels and “Romeo + Juliet.”
