BRIDGE OF SPIES Actor Scott Shepherd Joins Matt Damon In BOURNE 5
After working with Steven Spielberg, Scott Shepherd has decided he's ready to take on Jason Bourne! A new report has revealed that the Bridge Of Spies actor has joined the upcoming Matt Damon film.
Earlier today, Variety learned that Scott Shepherd (Bridge Of Spies) has signed on for a role in Universal's upcoming Bourne sequel, which features the return of both director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon (The Martian) as Jason Bourne. Shepherd will reportedly play the deputy director of the CIA, someone who will likely be a pain in Bourne's side.
In addition to his role in Steven Spielberg's latest, Shepherd has previously had roles in Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects and Rob Reiner's And So It Goes. He'll be seen next alongside Jude Law & Diane Keaton in the HBO miniseries The Young Pope.
