As if THE COUNSELOR wasn’t looking good enough, the flick goes ahead and adds this sexy mofo to the proceedings!

“Breaking Bad” secret weapon Dean Norris has joined the star-studded cast of Ridley Scott’s violent crime thriller THE COUNSELOR, reports Variety. The character Norris will be playing has not been identified, but as the entire ensemble is involved one way or another in the drug trade, Dean won’t be playing a fellow with as clean a nose as “Hank” on the popular AMC series.

Written by Cormac McCarthy, THE COUNSELOR concerns a lawyer (Michael Fassbender) who attempts to make some easy money in the drug business. Things quickly go awry, with devastating consequences for the counselor and his associates.
