STORY: Ian McShane Is First Dwarf Cast in Universal's 'Snow White'
Cuban Fury will prove to be a more grounded film for McShane, who recently has been spending a lot of screen time in big-budget fantasy productions. Apart from playing Bieth in Huntsman, he appeared as Blackbeard in last summer’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and next summer plays a king in New Line’s Jack the Giant Killer.
McShane is repped by ICM Partners, Gallant Management, UK’s Independent Talent Group and Nelson Davis Wetzstein LLP.
