Actor Bradley Whitford, three-time Emmy nominee 2001-2003 and two-time Emmy winner (won 2001 and 2015), has closed a deal with Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. and will star in the upcoming sequel to Godzilla.
Whitford, 57, widely known for his Emmy-winning role in The West Wing, was most recently seen in Jordan Peele's horror hit Get Out.
His upcoming projects include Todd Robinson's war drama The Last Full Measure, Brie Larson's directorial debut Unicorn Store and Greg Kinnear's dramedy The Philosophy of Phil. He's also featured in the Kate Mara drama Megan Leavey, out next weekend, and Judy Greer's directorial debut A Happening of Monumental Proportions, which made its festival premiere last month. He is repped by ICM and Greenlight Management, according to hollywoodreporter.com.
