The super-talented Eric Stoltz (“Pulp Fiction”, “Mask”, the upcoming “Caprica”) will play the lead role in “Fort McCoy,” based on the real-life story of actress/writer Kate Connor’s own mother. Michael Worth directs.
Lensing in Wisconsin, the movie follows the Stirn family who lived in a cabin between the army base and the Nazi - Japanese P.O.W. Camp during World War II. The real Fort McCoy military base - During World War II, Camp McCoy was used as a training facility for units from across the United States that were preparing to enter combat - plays a central part in the film.
Former “Practice” star Camryn Manheim, Lyndsy Fonseca (“Desperate Housewives”) and Seymour Cassell (“Dick Tracy”) will co-star with Connor herself playing her own grandmother, Ruby Stirn.
