“Icon’’: Two-time Best Director nominee Stephen Frears focuses on disgraced bicyclist Lance Armstrong, played by Ben Foster, and the Irish sports journalist, portrayed by Lee Pace, who exposed Armstrong’s use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Looks like Lee's part is even more prominent than previously reported.
Hi fmrbruin - Chris O'Dowd is playing the journalist. Lee Pace plays Armstrong's second in command, his agent who tried to cover up the doping.
shareYep and if you google it, Bill Stapleton (or however you spell the name I forgot) resembles lee in a way - saying that, I mean I see why they cast him
shareDamn he does.
Lee is like the sexy version of people who look like him.
I had thought that Chris O'Dowd was playing Walsh as well (with Lee as Stapleton) until I saw this. So sorry for the confusion.
shareHi fmrbruin,
Thanks for bringing up the topic. It gives us all something to look forward to.
I don't think there is any new info there. What would be nice if we knew when they are going to release it. How long ago did they make this movie?
shareSince Stephen Frears is the director, I imagine it could premiere at Cannes or Venice.
shareI should have looked before I posted. They finally have an August premiere date. It's just that I think this movie was filmed about 2 years ago. Sounds like a good one and of course Lee is in it.
