Kevin Kesar Joins Cast of Godshot Film

Former WWE wrestler Kevin Kesar, known in the ring as Karrion Kross, has joined the cast of the action-drama film Godshot, which is currently shooting in Chicago. The project, inspired by the real-life experiences of Hollywood stuntman Sammy Horowitz, features a ensemble lineup and explores themes of redemption amid high-stakes stunt work.

Godshot follows a recently released ex-convict who discovers an unexpected path to redemption after entering the perilous world of Hollywood stunts. As the story unfolds, the protagonist learns that the greatest risk lies in escaping the shadows of his criminal past. The screenplay, co-written by Horowitz and Adam Pasen, draws directly from Horowitz's own journey as a former inmate turned professional boxer and stunt performer, shaped by his early years in Chicago's gang and drug culture.

Directed by Gabriel Beristain, the film stars Horowitz alongside Kesar, Ron Perlman, William Forsythe, Kris D. Lofton, Joe Miñoso, Jon Seda, Marila Lombrozo and Sari Sanchez. Production is handled by Warner Davis and Todd Friedman of Hemlock Circle Productions, with Horowitz, Aiman Humaideh and Kimberly Hines also serving as producers. Shooting began recently...
