Broadway star Stark Sands joins Coen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis”
By Linda Ge

More musically inclined actors are lining up for the Joel and Ethan Coen’s next project, 1960s set folk music drama “Inside Llewyn Davis.” Deadline reports Broadway and screen actor Stark Sands has joined the cast that already includes Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund and John Goodman.

Isaac plays Davis, a fictional character loosely based on 1960s Greenwich Village based musician Dave Van Ronk, nicknamed “Mayor of MacDougal Street”, whose circle of friends and fellow musicians included Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, Patrick Sky, Phil Ochs, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and Joni Mitchell. Despite being talented and passionate, he can’t make ends meet just playing music. Timberlake has the role of Jim, a fellow folk musician who is married to Mulligan’s character Jean. Sands will play a young soldier on leave, while Hedlund and Goodman’s characters are still unknown. Cameras began rolling this week in New York City.

The musical abilities required should be no problem at all for Sands, a Tony nominee and recent headliner on Broadway in Green Day musical “American Idiot.” He made his big screen debut in 2003′s indie “Die Mommie Die” and has also appeared in films including “Chasing Liberty” and “Flags of Our Fathers”, as well as on TV in HBO miniseries “Generation Kill” and current CBS cop drama pilot “The 2-2.”
