Matthew Willig (Concussion) is set for a key recurring role in "Young Rock" as the legendary wrestler André the Giant.

André, one of the biggest stars in history of wrestling, commands respect wherever he goes. André was very private and didn’t let many people in, but he was very close to the Johnson family and had a unique and beautiful relationship with Dewey (Johnson’s nickname when he was a young boy) who idolized the 8th Wonder of the World.
