Anthrax lead guitarist Scott Ian, who’s currently writing DC’s “Lobo: Highway to Hell” miniseries, has a virtual unknown in mind for the lead role in Guy Ritchie’s LOBO feature film.
“Yeah, this guy named Matt Willig,” Ian told MTV News. “He’s an ex-football player who’s gotten into acting and if you watch ‘Dexter’ he played a guy named [Little Chino].”
Willig spent nearly 14 seasons in the NFL, according to NFL.com, before leaving for roles in TV shows like “Dexter,” “CSI” and eventually a part in the Jack Black and Michael Cera comedy “Year One.”
“He’s like seven feet tall, and I think he would be perfect,” Ian said. Willig definitely has the size. IMDb lists him at just over six and a half feet tall, which isn’t quite seven, but it’s close enough to be imposing on screen.
As for the movie’s soundtrack, when asked if his band had anything appropriate, Ian responded .
“Pretty much any Anthrax track”
