Angela Shelton’s George Lee Martin biopic HEART, BABY! has added Jamie Kennedy to its cast. The indie stars Gbenga Akinnagbe as Martin, who became infamous in the Tennessee prison system as an unbeatable boxer. When he is offered an opportunity at freedom in exchange for fighting for Team USA in the 1984 Olympic Games, he shocks everyone by saying no. Kennedy will play TJ, a hard-edged member of a motorcycle gang who takes revenge on an inmate who molested Martin as a child.
Shelton, Shawn Caulin-Young and Kim Barnard are producing the film, which Shelton wrote and will direct.
Kennedy can next be seen in NBC’s midseason series Heartbeat opposite Melissa George and Dave Annable. He is repped by ATA Management and ESA.
