Variety reports that Sterling Beaumon (Law & Order True Crime) has joined the cast of the horror thriller Your Lucky Day, which we previously heard will be starring Jessica Garza (Penny Dreadful: City of Angels), Angus Cloud (Euphoria), Elliot Knight (Color Out of Space), Jason O’Mara (The Man in the High Castle), Spencer Garrett (Dopesick), Mousa Kraish (American Gods), Jason Wiles (the Scream TV series), and Sebastian Sozzi (Fear the Walking Dead).

Currently filming in Los Angeles, Your Lucky Day marks the feature debut of writer/director Dan Brown (not the author of The Da Vinci Code) and is an expansion of a 16 minute short film Brown made back in 2010. Described as “a morality tale”, the film is set on

Christmas Eve in a small convenience store near the bottom of the socioeconomic food chain where a hostage situation breaks out over a $156 million lottery ticket. When things inevitably spiral, the film becomes a hardboiled look at how the poisonous heart of the American dream is actually a nightmare.

Beaumon is playing “an insecure Marine turned rookie cop called Cody who unthinkingly followed his father into the police force and is now desperate to prove himself.”

Your Lucky Day is being produced by Luke Barnett and Adam Baxter.

Beaumon has been racking up credits since he was just 9 or 10 years old, appearing on multiple popular TV shows, including 7th Heaven, House, Scrubs, ER, Criminal Minds, The Killing, Powers, Longmire, S.W.A.T., and Lost (where he played a young Benjamin Linus). His film work includes Spinning Man, The Pretty One, and Crawlspace.
