Exclusive: Paul Ben-Victor has been added to the cast of the Tim-Kirkby-directed action thriller Waldo. He joins previously announced cast members Mel Gibson, Charlie Hunnam, Morena Baccarin, Dominic Monaghan, Eiza Gonzalez, Jacob Scipio and Clancy Brown.

The film is based on the novel Last Looks by Howard Gould who also adapted the screenplay. The story follows a disgraced Lapd detective (Hunnam), who’s spent the past three years living off the grid. He’s reluctantly pulled back into his old life by a former lover in order to solve the murder of an eccentric celebrity’s wife. Andrew Lazar, Brad Feinstein, Christina Weiss Lurie and Steven Shainberg serve as producers of the feature.
Ben-Victor is a busy man as he has numerous projects on his plate.
