George Pendle's book "Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons" serves as the project's basis. Scott Free Productions' David W. Zucker and Ridley Scott also serve as executive producers. (Deadline.com)

He'll play Ricky "Buddha" Ortiz, one of the veterans on SEAL Team Six. (Deadline.com)
