LOS ANGELES, Feb 23 — How to Get Away With Murder and Sons of Anarchy actor Billy Brown is joining the cast of Proud Mary, reports Variety.

Brown will star opposite Taraji P Henson in the hitman thriller, which is to be directed by Babak Najafi.

Henson will play a hit woman whose life is upturned when she meets a young boy who awakens the maternal instinct she never knew she had.

Details of Brown’s role in the movie are yet to be revealed.

Brown currently plays Detective Nate Lahey in ABC drama How to Get Away With Murder. He has also previously starred in CBS series Hostages, alongside Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott, but is perhaps best known for his role as the brutal gang leader August Marks on FX’s Sons of Anarchy.

The actor’s film credits include Cloverfield, Lakeview Terrace, and Star Trek. — AFP-Relaxnews
