Lee Pace joins the cast of Lincoln
The actor, who will next be seen in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, will play New York City mayor Fernando Wood. The character is an early ally to the Confederate cause, who frequently corresponded with President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis).
Steven Spielberg is directing Lincoln from a screenplay by Tony Kushner (Munich). It isn't clear when production will start on Lincoln quite yet.
Lee Pace will also start shooting his role of King Thranduil in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey sometime this fall.
Lincoln comes to theaters November 2012 and stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hal Holbrook, James Spader, John Hawkes, Tim Blake Nelson. The film is directed by Steven Spielberg.
