EXCLUSIVE: Cole Hauser has been set to star in The Last Champion, an indie drama from In House Media that will kick off production beginning January 4 in Washington state. Glenn Withrow is directing the script he co-wrote with Hallie Todd and Ivy Withrow.
Hauser will play John, a scandal-ridden ex-Olympic athlete who has lived a life dominated by guilt and isolation. The story unfolds when he is forced to return to his unforgiving and unwelcoming rural hometown after his mother’s death.
