In his last two notable roles, Frank Langella has played some kind of bad guy, from smarmy Richard Nixon to the otherworldly Arlington Steward in The Box. Now Liam Neeson may finally be giving the poor guy a chance to work on the side of the good guys.

According to Variety, Langella has joined the cast of Unknown White Male, in which he'll play a friend to Neeson's character, a man who awakens from a coma to realize that someone has stolen his identity.

Of course, after this it's back to villainy-- Langella will be in Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps as a mentor to Shia LaBeouf's character. Of course, we don't actually know that he turns out to be a villain, but in the Wall Street universe, are there actually any good guys?
