DAYS' Casey Moss lands role in film The Last Champion

Days of our Lives' Casey Moss (J.J. Deveraux) is set to star in the new indie film The Last Champion.

It looks like Days of our Lives' Casey Moss (J.J. Deveraux) is pulling double duty. The actor is filming his usual Salem shenanigans while also working on the upcoming indie film The Last Champion.

The film, directed by Glenn Withrow, follows the story of John (Cole Hauser), a scandal-ridden ex-Olympian whose life is dominated by guilt and isolation. John is forced to return to his unforgiving and unwelcoming rural hometown after the death of his mother, which is when the real drama unfolds.

"For years my co-writers [wife Hallie Todd and daughter Ivy Withrow] and I have wanted to do a project like The Last Champion," Withrow says of the film that's inspired by classics like Rocky and Hoosiers. "As collaborators, we were able to bring our individual perspectives to the piece while sharing a common vision for the final product. We've always been moved by films with great underdog characters and wanted to write something that entire families could watch and enjoy together. We feel we've succeeded with The Last Champion."

Moss plays the character of Scott Baker alongside cast members Sean Scully, Annika Marks, Todd, Bob McCracken, Taylor Dearden, Randall Batinkoff, and Peter Onarati.
