David Richmond-Peck to Play Gammons in The A-Team
Moviehole broke some more casting news that Canadian actor David Richmond-Peck has signed on to star as Gammons in Joe Carnahan’s big screen adaptation of The A-Team. The actor most recently worked with the director on a sequel to Smokin’ Aces. I love A-Team news and can’t wait for this film.
Richmond-Peck originally tested for the role of the main villian in the film before grabbing the role he has now. Gammons must be an original character from the film because I have not seen nor remember anything on that character from the original series.
In this new incarnation of The A-Team we have our heroes hailing from the war in the Middle East as opposed to Vietnam. However the basic premise will remain the same as the television series, which sees four war vets wrongly accused of armed robbery and escape a military prison to become an elite band of do-good mercenaries. Liam Neeson has been cast as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, with Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck and Rampage Jackson confirmed as B.A. Baracus.
“Howling Mad” Murdock has yet to be cast, but our web sources tell us that District 9′s Sharlto Copley is a major candidate for the role.
