Baird added to Deadline: "I’m really excited to work with Kevin.

"He was already a major star when he really caught my eye as Willie O’Keefe in Oliver Stone’s 'JFK'.

"To me he showed a new, raw and very powerful side. His turn in 'The Woodsman' should have won him an Oscar and I love his work in his new show 'City on a Hill'.

"Kevin and I have had great discussions about his role and he will be bringing all of this edge and power and his darker side to Fred Sr. in 'One Way' where he plays the father to Freddy.

"It’s going to be a wild ride and an iconic turn."

Production on the movie is due to get underway in February in Los Angeles, and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
