Colm Feore joins CBC soccer drama

He has been a U.S. general, a 15th-century cardinal and a presidential spouse — and those are just his TV roles. Now prolific Canadian-American actor Colm Feore is taking on big-city crime boss in a new CBC-TV drama.

Feore, also known for numerous movie roles and for his stage work with the Stratford Festival, has joined the cast of 21 Thunder, described as a series about “the fiercely competitive and high-stakes world of an under-21 soccer academy in Montreal.”

The series, from PMA Productions and Generic Productions, is now in production in Montreal and will premiere on CBC in summer 2017. Debra Yeo
