Graham, Compston Join 'Damned United'

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Brit thesps Stephen Graham ("This is England"), Martin Compston ("Sweet Sixteen") and Peter McDonald ("When Brendan Met Trudy") have joined the cast of "The Damned United," a biopic of legendary English soccer coach Brian Clough adapted for the screen by Peter Morgan.

Michael Sheen (previously announced) plays the egotistical and eccentric Clough in the film, which examines his ill-tempered and short-lived tenure as topper at Leeds United in 1974.

I know this will be a great film, but does anyone not think the new breed of young actors also should be given credit where credit is due in the making of this film??
