Dominic West to show off singing skills in new movie
Written by . Published: August 09 2013
British actor Dominic West will be putting his singing skills to the test in a new movie set during Britain's famous miners' strike of the 1980s.
The Wire star takes a role in new movie Pride, which focuses on the gay and lesbian activists who joined protesting pit workers during the walkouts, and he has revealed his character is set for a big musical number.
West tells Britain's Daily Mail he will play "a gay guy who sings I
Will Survive in front of a group of Welsh mine workers," adding,
"It all began last year with My Fair Lady in Sheffield and now I
just can't stop singing."
The actor made his musical debut last year (12) starring as
Professor Henry Higgins in a production of My Fair Lady in his
hometown of Sheffield, England.
