According to The Hollywood Reporter, actors Scott Grimes, Kevin Durand and Alan Doyle have been cast as the group of adventurers in Ridley Scott’s untitled Robin Hood tale.
Grimes has been cast in the role of Will Scarlet, a skilled swordsman and Hood’s nephew, while Durand and Doyle are playing Hood’s right-hand man Little John and Alan a Dayle, respectively.
Grimes is best known for his role on hit TV drama “ER” and providing voice parts to characters in “American Dad!”. Durand’s claim to fame was his character Martin Keamy on ABC’s “LOST” and will also be seen in upcoming action flick X-Men Origins: Wolverine as the Blob. Doyle, however, is not known for acting, but rather singing lead vocals in Canadian folk-rock band Great Big Sea.
The trio, along with the film’s lead actors Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, will begin filming in the U.K. this April.
