Dennis Christopher's name probably isn't going to ring a lot of bells to some of our younger readers out there, but if you saw Peter Yates' seminal coming of age film,
Breaking Away(way back in 1979!!!) then you'll recognize him immediately. Lately he's been keeping busy on the small screen, recently appearing in the SyFy Channel series,
The Lost Room, and on HBO's
Deadwood. Now he's making a big comeback as part of Quentin Tarantino's
Django Unchained.
Variety reports he'll play Leo Moguy, the lawyer of evil slave master Calvin Candie, meaning he'll get to hang out with Leonardo DiCaprio for awhile. Moguy sets up the meeting with Candie and bounty hunter(Christoph Waltz) working alongside freed slave Django(Jamie Foxx). Samuel L. Jackson, Gerald McRaney, and Michael K. Williams are set to co-star in the spaghetti western due out on Christmas Day 2012.
