Rascal Flatts

Jay DeMarcus, Gary Levox, and Joe Don Rooney - television stars? Rascal Flatts is taking their talent to the small screen as featured actors and composers for a forthcoming television mini-series about the Civil War. "To Appomattox" was written by Michael Frost Beckner and is being directed by Mikael Salomon. Flatts members will each be individual recurring characters in the mini-series, which is being likened to HBO-TV's "Band of Brothers" for Civil War enthusiasts. DeMarcus is slated to appear in four episodes, Levox in five, and Rooney in six. I would venture to guess that Joe Don's character isn't on the front lines of battle since he hangs around the longest.

The eight-episode series has not yet been picked up for network distribution, but DeMarcus has already agreed to compose and score the epic drama following a group of men from the beginning to the end of the American Civil War. Look for more details as they emerge.
