Vampire Academy's Lucy Fry has won a supporting role in Cook, Bruce Beresford's US drama starring Eddie Murphy as an artistic chef who agrees to provide meals to the family of a dying man.
Bruce Beresford has worked on US movies and TV shows for decades, so he was ill-prepared when US authorities cancelled his visa waiver.
Australian actor Sam Worthington has been cast in the upcoming Vietnam War film, The Battle of Long Tan, which Bruce Beresford is attached to direct after finishing work on Mao's Last Dancer.
