EXCLUSIVE: Actor Cam Gigandet (Burlesque) has landed one of the leads in the TNT Western drama pilot Gateway aka Tin Star. The action/adventure project from Bruce C. McKenna and Danny Cannon received a cast-contingent pilot order last month. Set in the Colorado town of the same name in the 1880s, Gateway tells the story of three brothers who step in to save their town when their sheriff father is murdered, pitting them against a corrupt cattle baron determined to make the town his own. Gigandet will play one of the brothers, Jake, on the Warner Horizon-produced project. Gigandet, repped by WME and Luber Roklin, recently wrapped the Joel Schumacher-directed Trespass opposite Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman.





Guess the big screen didn’t work out for him, huh?
I think this looks / sounds awesome. Can’t wait to see what comes of it.
I hope it’s a success for him – he deserves it. He was hilarious in Easy A and was one of the only people in Twilight who could act.
ARE YOU KIDDING? Did you see PRIEST? He played a wooden cowboy.
No…wait, I think he was a regular cowboy and it was just his “acting” that was wooden. He only got the part since Clint Culpepper wanted his sweet sweet man ass.
This will be another failure.
Jealous much, Dan?!?! ; ))
No, I didn’t see that one. I’ve only seen a handful of his projects and thought he was good.
I think he is a good actor and I loved watching him in burlesque. I watched that movie 12 times as of 9-19-11. Will probably watch it again until I am able to see another one of his movies or tv shows.
He seems like such a nice guy and it reflects in his roles i.e. burlesque. He’s talented and fine as hell.
