If you remember the ’80s, you’ll remember twin pop band Bros. Luke Goss now turns his hand to acting in action movie Dead Drop

Dead Drop sees pop-star turned actor Luke Goss as a former CIA operative on a mission. On a government contract he infiltrates a Mexican drug smuggling gang. After a squabble with one of the gang, he is thrown from a plane at 5000 ft and survives the fall. Once recovered, he sets out to track down the man who threw him to his death.

Goss has been acting for a while – he has had parts in Blade II, Fringe and Hellboy II. He is no stranger to getting fit for a role. He once did a Navy SEAL training programme and kung fu which got him down to five per cent body fat.

The movie also stars Nestor Carbonell (The Dark Knight Rises) and Cole Hauser (A Good Day to Die Hard). Could Goss be the next Jason Statham? He certainly has the skin head Brit thing going on, only he can actually do an American accent. We’ll see.

No release date has been set yet, but it will be at some point in 2013.
