According to Variety, the handsome 23-year-old will be starring alongside Jason Ritter in the upcoming indie rock-u-drama The Perfect Age of Rock n’ Roll. Zegers will play a rock star whose second album takes a major flop, thus prompting him to hide away in his Long Island hometown. Loyal to its title, there will be plenty of music, as musicians Billy Morrison, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin and Sugar Blue will be making appearances.

Additionally featured in the rock pic are Peter Fonda, Taryn Manning and Lauren Holly.
