Sean Penn drama Gangster Squad adds Giovanni Ribisi

*G**iovanni Ribisi has joined the cast of 1940s crime drama _Gangster
Squad_**.*

The _Avatar_ actor joins an already diamond constellation of actors
that includes Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie,
Michael Pena and (possibly) Bryan Cranston.

Ribisi is a great character actor who’s boosted many a drama in
his time, including _Saving Private Ryan_, _Public Enemies_ and
_Boiler Room._

In _Gangster Squad_, he’ll play Conway Keeler, a member of an
elite police team and a specialist in electronics and wiring.

Inspired by a series of articles from the _LA Times_, _Gangster Squad_
follows Penn’s Mickey Cohen and an elite squad of cops chasing
him through the city of angels.

It’s been adapted by Will Beall, and will be directed by
_Zombieland_’s Ruben Fleischer.

Ribisi will next appear in Johnny Depp vehicle _The Rum Diar__y_, and
Seth MacFarlane’s live-action debut _Ted_.

_Gangster Squad_ is targeting a 2013 release.
