BRIDGETOWN, Barbados AP:
ACADEMY-AWARD winner Louis Gossett Jr., best known as the drill sergeant in An Officer and a Gentleman, will play a Miami police detective battling drug traffickers in a movie set to begin filming next month in Jamaica.
The Jamaican portion of Caribbean Manhunt is scheduled to last through November, at which point the crew will move to Miami to finish the project, Gossett said Saturday while in Barbados for a celebrity golf tournament.
He will star alongside Morris Chestnut, who will play a fellow Miami detective called to fight against South American smugglers shipping drugs through the Caribbean.
Gossett won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the 1982 film An Officer and a Gentleman, which starred Richard Gere. His other roles include the Iron Eagle movies and the TV series 'Roots'.
