If, like us, you were wondering where actor Maddy had disappeared to, we have news for you. The actor has finally decided to shed his nice-guy image as he now wanders into the land of darkness with the first-ever Zombie movie in 3D, Simon West's Night of the Living Dead: Origins in 3D.
With this 3D re-imagining of the cult classic Zombie film, Maddy makes his Hollywood debut. About the movie, which will also feature Tony Todd and Danielle Harris, he tells us, "Man, this is cutting-edge technology with facial capture in 3D."
Asked how he landed the role and he says, "I had a meeting with Simon, who's made movies like Con Air, The General's Daughter and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Simon liked what he saw, I guess!"
