Actress Katherine LaNasa is set to play the wife of two well known actors in two very different movies. LaNasa, whose credits consist mainly of TV roles, has signed on for roles in the comedy Dog Fight, and a serial-killer thriller called The Frozen Ground, both of which put her in the company of some big-name actors.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, LaNasa, whose recent TV credits include Two and a Half Men and Big Love, is set to play the role of Will Ferrell’s wife in Dog Fight, a political comedy that also stars Zach Galifianakis. This news follows the recent announcement that Sarah Baker was joining the cast and set to play Zach Galifianakis’ wife.
While the above role puts her in funnier territory, it doesn’t sound like The Frozen Ground will be any laughing matter. The film, which stars John Cusack, Nicolas Cage, Vanessa Hudgens, and 50 Cent, is based on a true story about a girl who teams up with an Alaskan state trooper to track down the serial killer who tried to murder her. John Cusack plays serial killer Robert Hansen, a man who lives a seemingly normal life when he isn’t capturing young girls and letting them loose in the woods where he then hunts and kills them. LaNasa has been cast to play Hansen’s wife. Whether or not this is a big role remains to be seen, however it does sound like an interesting one, assuming Hansen’s wife is unaware of what her husband is up to.
