See First Look at Scott Stapp Playing Frank Sinatra in Ronald Reagan Biopic


Here’s the first look of Scott Stapp as Frank Sinatra in the upcoming Ronald Reagan biopic.

The project includes a scene in which Stapp performs as Sinatra at Hollywood’s famed Cocoanut Grove nightclub, at a time when Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild. Stapp will also be featured on the movie’s forthcoming soundtrack, covering “Swinging on a Star,” originally introduced by Bing Crosby in the 1944 film Going My Way and later recorded by Sinatra for his 1964 album Sinatra Sings Days of Wine and Roses, Moon River, and Other Academy Award Winners. The pop standard, written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke for Going My Way, won the 1944 Oscar for best original song.
