By Phil Guie | Monday, August 10, 2009
Venerable character actor Edward James Olmos has joined the cast of The Green Hornet, Hollywood Snitch reports.According to the site, Olmos made the revelation at last week’s Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con. No word yet on which character he might play, but the cast thus far includes Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz, and Jay Chou—who was recently brought aboard to replace Stephen Chow as Kato.
"I'm on my way to do The Green Hornet," revealed Olmos, who is recognizable for appearing in the recently-ended Battlestar Galactica series. "It'll be a lot of fun with Seth [Rogen], Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz."
Cage is reportedly in talks to play the film’s villain. Michel Gondry is directing The Green Hornet for release in 2010.
Olmos' other memorable roles include playing Gaff in Blade Runner, Lt. Martin Castillo in Miami Vice, Jaime Escalante in Stand and Deliver, the head of the Quintanilla family in the film Selena, and as a recently widowed father in the PBS drama American Family: Journey of Dreams.
