Birth nameLucas York Black Birth information29 November 1982, Speake, Alabama, USA BioLucas York Black was born to Larry and Jan Black on November 29, 1982 in Decatur, Alabama. Without any formal acting lessons, Lucas made his film debut with a small part in the Kevin Costner film The War (1994) at the age of 11. The small role helped him land his next job in the series "American Gothic" (1995). When the series came to North Carolina to cast its primary roles, the casting people in Wilmington remembered Lucas, and suggested him for the role of "Caleb Temple". Although the series didn't last too long, Lucas' film career did. He was next seen in the sleeper-hit Sling Blade (1996) and then in another dark film Ghosts of Mississippi (1996).A bit of Calvin Klein modeling and mainly school and sports occupied the rest of his spare time. He scored another summer hit with The X Files (1998) and finally got a lead role in the independent film Crazy in Alabama (1999). Selective about his film roles, Lucas turned down an opportunity to star in the movie adaptation of The Horse Whisperer (1998) due to the request of having his accent altered. In 2000, he was seen with Matt Damon in All the Pretty Horses (2000).A good student, Lucas graduated from Speake High School, class of 2001, where he played football, basketball and a little bit of golf. He plans on studying fish biology, which would be probable since he is a highly active bass fisherman. After a small break, he will next be seen alongside Hollywood stars Jude Law and Natalie Portman in the drama Cold Mountain (2003).

The plot: God is pissed at the humans, so he sends angels to finish them off. The only hope humanity has left is an unborn baby that needs serious protection...
Our thoughts: If you ever wanted to see an angel battle other angels with a ton of machine guns on the big screen, here is your chance. Scott Stewart’s action flick “Legion” is about as ridiculous as a film of this genre can get, but unfortunately, it lacks the fun and fast pace that could’ve actually make it a better movie. »

The long list of deeply and realistically flawed characters legendary actor Robert Duvall has portrayed now has one, more name added to it.  Felix Bush, the character at the center of Get Low, has a mystery about him, a deep-seeded kernel down within that drives him away from civilization and towards the backwoods of 1930’s Tennessee.
When the film opens, after an absolutely amazing first shot that heightens the sense of the mystery, we see children throwing rocks at Felix’s house, busting out a window.  Felix runs out of the house bearing rifle and chases one of the children into his barn.  The child, terrified at the prospect of what may come about him, vomits, and Felix, only wanting to scare the children (and seeing he has done just that), steps aside, allowing the child to run along.
Felix just wants to be left alone, and, so, it’s »

Now we have it folks, another vision of the end of mankind. Another tale of God turning his back on his children, smiting us in one fell swoop… throwing in the towel so to speak and starting over. Well, at least that’s the intention.
Legion is Scott Stewart’s big cinematic break and personally, I found the film to be mostly a big cinematic disappointment. No, it’s not a terrible movie. In many ways, it’s a perfectly adequate addition to the average stock of genre fare, but what it lacks is any truly original or groundbreaking elements.
The film begins by introducing the cast of human characters whom all coalesce at a dumpy all-in-one diner, filling station and repair shop. As God sends his legion of meat puppets possessed by angels to wipe out mankind the small ragtag group of humans are led in an unlikely battle »
