Drummer Debut


Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is ready to show off his acting skills. Ulrich will be playing Dutch documentarian Joris Ivens in the upcoming HBO film Hemingway & Gellhorn. While this is the first substantial film role for Ulrich, it isn't the first time that the drummer has appeared on the silver screen. Ulrich had previously made a cameo as himself in the 2010 comedy Get Him to the Greek in addition to being featured in the 2004 Metallica documentary, Some Kind of Monster.

According to IMDb.com, Hemingway & Gellhorn is “a drama centered on the romance between Ernest Hemingway and WWII correspondent Martha Gellhorn, Hemingway's inspiration for For Whom the Bell Tolls and the only woman who ever asked for a divorce from the writer." The film stars Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen. Hemingway & Gellhorn will air on HBO on May 28 at 9 p.m.
