TRACE ADKINS - ADKINS TO PLAY THE GRIM REAPER IN GRAMMER'S CAROL

Country singer TRACE ADKINS is to play the GHOST OF CHRISTMAS FUTURE in KELSEY GRAMMER's new patriotic version of CHARLES DICKENS' classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL. The Chrome singer will haunt Grammer's Ebenezer Scrooge in a new historic adaptation of the hit festive tale, called An American Carol. Adkins joins a cast that includes Jon Voight, Leslie Nielsen and Dennis Hopper, who all have cameos. It's not Adkins' first film role - he featured in horror film Trailer Park Of Terror. The country star also finished runner-up to British journalist Piers Morgan in Donald Trump's U.S. reality TV series Celebrity Apprentice last month (Mar08).
