Marine scout sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) could nail a gnat a mile away in a high wind. So he's just the guy to help government officials catch a presidential assassin--and then to be blamed for the killing in a high-level double cross.

Wearing a long tweed jacket, faded fringe jeans, a silver ring on his hand, he’s the very image of a London hipster, yet Cutmore-Scott is also unassuming and unpretentious, qualities that become all the more suprising given that he’s ambitiously written and directed this year’s first original play, “Fall,” in which he will also play its leading role.

...Bollywood's most loved actors and is affectionately known as the "Big B." Last year when Khan starred in a remake of Bachchan's 1970s hit mafia flick Don, critics trotted out a long-held suspicion: Khan's pretty-boy looks are no match for Bachchan's more serious swagger...
