RBD & Sense8 star cast in title role for Fox pilot
Quote:
Project is a modern adaptation of the 1980 John Travolta movie
Alfonso Herrera has been cast as the male lead in Fox’s “Urban Cowboy” pilot, TheWrap has confirmed.
The “Sense8” star will play Kyle, an adaptation of the role played by John Travolta in the 1980 film upon which the pilot is based.
Craig Brewer will serve as executive producer, and will also direct the pilot, which follows a pair of young lovers — played in the film by Travolta and Debra Winger — as they pursue their dreams and passions through the sweat of line-dancing in honky-tonks, the grime of the oil refineries and the glamour of modern Texas.
I wonder if his accent will get in the way though? Either way it's amazing to see more Latinos making strides in Hollywood especially one that isn't completely white washed looking in order to cater to a white audience to seem more appealing.
I did not know he was i sense 8 either!
