Scott Haze has joined Luke Wilson, Vinessa Shaw and Wayne Knight for 12 Mighty Orphans. Directed by Ty Roberts, the film is based on Jim Dent’s nonfiction novel that centers on an orphanage where Coach Rusty Russell (Wilson) turns a scrawny band of underdogs into fierce warriors that leave their opponents bewildered and battered. These youngsters, in spite of being outweighed by at least thirty pounds per man, are the toughest football team around. They begin with nothing―not even a football―yet Rusty’s innovative offense helps lead the orphans to the state playoffs. At a time when America desperately needs fresh hope and big dreams, the Orphans prove that heart can triumph over the greatest of obstacles.

He is also set to star in the indie What Josiah Saw from Vincent Grashaw. His previous credits include Venom, Thank You For Your Service and Only the Brave and Child of God.

Haze is repped by CAA and Thruline Entertainment.
