Scott Speedman is going bad.
The actor, most recently seen co-starring on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, has joined the cast of Sunflower, the thriller that Lovecraft Country creator Misha Green is writing and directing for Lionsgate.
Jurnee Smollett and Isabel May are already on the call sheet for the feature that will shoot in South Africa in spring of 2024.
