Jesse Williams, who will make his film debut in Sanaa Hamri's The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants 2, has just signed on to Antoine Fuqua's 'Brooklyn's Finest,' alongside Richard Gere.

The Hollywood Reporter states that he will play Eddie Quinlan, a character who is pretty high up on the cast list that boasts Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, and Ellen Barkin. The movie focuses on three unconnected cops who take very different career paths and wind up at 'the same deadly location.'

Williams graduated from Temple University with degrees in African-American Studies and Film & Media Arts.
