Sony Pictures has provided Blackfilm.com with a pic of Lance Reddick in Roland Emmerich’s White House Down, starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Joey King, Jason Clarke, Richard Jenkins and James Woods.
In the film, Capitol Policeman John Cale (Tatum) has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Foxx). Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation’s government falling into chaos and time running out, it’s up to Cale to save the president, his daughter, and the country.
In an speaking with Blackfilm.com last year while discussing his work on the now-cancelled ‘Fringe’ series, Reddick talked about his character in WHD.
What’s your role in ‘White House Down’?
Lance Reddick: I play a General, the Vice-Chairman of the Justice Staff. Because of how things play out in the film, I’m the one in the charge at the Pentagon.
Is that your first big action thriller?
LR: It’s the first big one in a long time. I did a big film in 1998 with Denzel Washington and Annette Bening called ‘The Siege’ and I played one of Denzel’s FBI agents. As everyone on the team was dying, I was the last one to die.
White House Down hits theaters on June 28.
