Dominic West hops aboard new flick 'Money Monster'

Dominic West has been cast in the Jodie Foster-directed film 'Money Monster' at TriStar Pictures.

The 45-year-old actor, who stars in Showtime's first-year hit drama 'The Affair,' will star opposite George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Jack O'Connell, Deadline.com reported.

Clooney 's role is a Jim Cramer-type host of a stock investment show, who makes a bad call on a hot stock, and West would play the CEO of the company that goes under, after the host touts his stock.
