In the works for a couple of years, Netflix’s serial killer film The Good Nurse, starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain, is finally moving forward next month. And as part of that, there’s a new addition to the cast in Sylvie’s Love star and Ex-NFL All-Pro Nnamdi Asomugha.
Deadline reports Asomugha has joined Redmayne and Chastain in The Good Nurse, which also boasts some impressive talent behind the camera. The adaptation of Charles Graeber’s novel marks the English-language debut of Oscar-nominated Another Round director Tobias Lindholm, and was written by 1917 scribe Krysty Wilson-Cairns. Not only that, but Darren Aronofsky is on board to produce.
Asomugha will play Danny Baldwin, one of the lead investigators helping Chastain’s character investigate the murders committed by Charlie Cullen, a nurse and married family man who secretly was one of the most prolific serial killers in history. Redmayne will play Cullen, who became known as the “Angel of Death” for having killed as many as 300 patients across 16 years as a New Jersey caretaker.
You can check out my recent interview with Asomugha here. He’s definitely a star on the rise.
