“Reagan” was filmed at the former president’s ranch outside of Santa Barbara, Calif. It’s the first film to ever shoot on the property where Reagan resided, which became known as the Western White House.

Donovan’s breakout TV role was playing Teddy Montgomery on four seasons of “90210,” which ran on the CW from 2008 to 2013. He also led the Hallmark TV movies “USS Christmas,” “Two for the Win” and “JL Family Ranch: The Wedding Gift” opposite Voight and James Caan.

McNamara’s credits include the Bethany Hamilton drama “Soul Surfer,” “Mighty Oak” and “Miracle Season.” Klausner wrote the script for Clint Eastwood’s “Space Cowboys,” and Joseph executive produced Martin Sheen’s “The Vessel” with Terrance Malick.
