Great Scott!

Stacy Dood of Variety reports:

Actor Scott Porter, who plays Jason Street on the excellent TV drama Friday Night Lights (pictured), has landed a role in Speed Racer! The highly anticipated film starts shooting later this month in Berlin.



Porter will play Rex, the older brother to Speed (Emile Hirsch), in the movie...

Porter does such a great job with his role on "Lights", playing a high school QB, who is forced to deal with a devastating spinal injury, that I'm thrilled he's finding film work. And in such a high profile project no less.

Porter also recently completed shooting a lead role in that "Prom Night" remake opposite the lovely Brittany Snow.

A rising star indeed.
