A "Chik" Takes On An "Eagle"

Michael Chiklis has joined the cast of the D.J. Caruso-directed thriller "Eagle Eye" according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Chiklis will play the U.S. secretary of defense

Filmming was halted over the holidays but is now back in full swing and scheduled to wrap next month for an August debut.

The tough image honed by Chiklis for TV's The Shield and for the Fantastic Four flicks should serve him well for this film.
