All My Children's Finn Wittrock (ex-Damon Miller) has come a long way since his Pine Valley days. Following a slew of roles on shows like American Crime Story and American Horror Story, and starring in the Judy Garland biopic Judy, he's now set for a role opposite Ben Affleck in the upcoming thriller Deep Water, which will also feature Kristen Connolly (ex-Josie Anderson, As the World Turns; ex-Jolene, Guiding Light).
Based on the novel of the same name by Patricia Highsmith, the film follows a well-to-do husband who allows his wife to have affairs in order to avoid a divorce -- but later becomes a prime suspect in the disappearance of her lovers.
Other stars slated for Deep Water include Ana de Armas, Tracy Letts, Lil Rel Howery, Jacob Elrodi, Rachel Blanchard, and Jade Fernandez. Filming began in New Orleans in November.
Wittrock played AMC's Damon, the long-lost son of legacy character Tad Martin (Michael E. Knight), from 2009 to 2011. After leaving Pine Valley, he went on to find success in shows like Masters of Sex and American Horror Story: Freak Show (for which he nabbed an Emmy nomination). He's also appeared in films like The Big Short, Winter's Tale, and La La Land, and did a critically acclaimed run on Broadway in The Glass Menagerie.
Some of Connolly's early roles include playing Jolene on GL in 2008 and Josie Anderson on ATWT from 2008 to 2009. She went on to make a name for herself in TV series like House of Cards, The Whispers, and Zoo, as well as in films like Cabin in the Woods and Revolutionary Road.
