Luke Goss has been cast as the villain in the Samuel L. Jackson-Eugene Levy starrer The Man for New Line Cinema. Les Mayfield is directing, and Rob Fried and Bill Strauss are producing. The comedy sees bumbling salesman Levy stumble into an ATF sting. The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms agent (Jackson) realizes he needs to take on the mild-mannered milquetoast as his ersatz partner in order to bring down the drug lord (Goss). Penned by Jim Piddick and Margaret Oberman and rewritten by Steve Carpenter, the project is budgeted in the mid-$20 million range and starts production April 17. Kent Alterman, Michele Weiss and Keith Goldberg are overseeing for the studio. The British actor is best known to American audiences for playing Nomak, the villain in New Line's Blade 2. He also appeared in David Goyer's indie feature ZigZag. He stars in indie film Charlie and recently wrapped the Michelle Yeoh actioner Silver Hawk. He next appears in the TNT miniseries Frankenstein as the title character. Goss is repped by Tom Chasin and DW Management's David Wood and Shirley Lewis.
