Grant Gustin Lands Role in The Last Full Measure

Grant Gustin has found his Summer hiatus role. Grant will star in the political drama, The Last Full Measure.

Deadline is reporting, “Gustin will play actual Medal of Honor recipient William Pitsenbarger, a special forces Para-rescue Jumper who is pivotal to the plot.”

The site goes on to say, “Sebastian Stan plays the lead role of a young Pentagon investigator Scott Huffman as he battles the political machine in Washington. He reluctantly teams with veterans of Operation Abilene to convince Congress to award the Medal of Honor to a courageous Air Force medic, Pitsenbarger (Gustin), who is seen saving the lives of over 60 Marines ambushed in one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. As the battle waged on, and after the last helicopter left, the soldier kept saving lives until he lost his own.”

The duo are joined in the film by Christopher Plummer, William Hurt, Samuel L. Jackson, Bradley Whitford, Michael Imperioli and Linus Roache. Filming on the movie will take place in Atlata and Costa Rica.
