Brett Cullen will join the cast of River Road's "The Runaways," a tale of Joan Jett and her band. Apparently, he'll play the alcoholic father of Runaway member Cherie Currie (played by Dakota Fanning). The role will be taking from Currie's memoir "Neon Angel" which documented her addition.
Veteran on both film and TV offerings, Cullen's previous credits include "Gridiron Gang," "National Treasure," "The Life Before Her Eyes" and "Ghost Rider." One of the most memorable performances I would say is his role in J.J. Abrams' "Lost" series as Goodwin.
