"Twilight's" Michael Welch to star in "Rough Hustle"

michael welchI've been following the exploding career of young actor Michael Welch for several years on this blog. In February, PROnetworks was the first online to announce that he had been cast in the role of Mike Newton in Twilight, the highly anticipated Summit Pictures release of the film based on Stephenie Meyer's popular novel. Twilight is due in theaters on November 21.

Now I've been given the honor of announcing that Welch's newest project is an independent film titled Rough Hustle. Writer/director Delaney Dragon has given us this exclusive first look at the synopsis, along with some artwork featuring Welch.
