Description

Veteran Character Actor Dominic Pace has been cast in a supporting role for Disney Plus. Jingyi Shao is writing and directing the feature from Lena Waithe and Rishi Rajani's Hillman Grad Productions. They're producing with Brad Weston and Negin Salmasi. In Chang Can Dunk, a 16-year old, constantly marginalized, not-popular high school kid and wannabe basketball player becomes obsessed with the idea of learning to dunk, all in an effort to best the school's basketball star, Matt — and hopefully win the adoration of the very pretty Kristy. Pace became a Fan Favorite for the Star Wars Franchise with a very small, but popular appearance as "Gekko" The Bounty Hunter in the hit series, The Mandalorian for Disney Plus. During the pandemic in 2020, Pace toured local Comic Book Shops in over 40 US states where he gave a percentage of his autograph sales to small business. Through his tour, he managed to raise over $12,000 for various charitable organizations, along with raising over $30,000 for over 50 Comic Book Stores. Star Wars fans will have the chance to own a Licensed Lucasfilm Product this January with Pace's character on the item. Pace is repped by Tahir Abunadi of Engage Artists, and Christina Scott of CA Talent..
