HOLLYWOOD - Moviemaker Roman Polanski is set to step out from behind the camera to play a French cop in the latest Rush Hour film.
The part marks the Pianist director's first Hollywood acting appearance since he played "man with knife" in 1974's Chinatown.

Rush Hour 3 director Brett Ratner persuaded Polanski to take the role after raving about his performance in French indie film Le Locataire during a chance encounter with the Oscar winner.

Polanski, who lives in exile in Europe following his decision to flee America in 1978 after pleading guilty to having sex with a minor, will join a cast that includes Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker and Max Von Sydow.

I am amazed to see they are doing a Rush Hour 3. The second one came out like 5 years ago.

I'm thinking a role in The Woodsman part 2, would probably be a better fit for him. Of course, the guy in The Woodsman had a conscience, and knew that what he did was wrong, so maybe Roman wouldn't be good in that role either. Sick S.O.B.!!!
