The actor will portray an information dealer known as The Frog. He acquired that nickname after poisoning the water supply at the Kremlin with an exotic Amazonian amphibian. Red stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and Mary-Louise Parker are all ser to reprise their roles from the original movie, with new additions Catherine Zeta-Jones, Anthony Hopkins, and Byung-hun Lee rounding out the cast.
