It seems there are advantages to playing Meredith's spurned lover on Grey's Anatomy. Chris O'Donnell, who hasn't headlined a major film since 2000's Vertical Limit, just landed a role opposite Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis in Max Payne, Twentieth Century Fox's live-action adaptation of Rockstar Games' shoot-'em-up game. Payne is the story of a cop (Wahlberg), haunted by the death of his family, who's hot on the heels of a series of new murders. O'Donell will play executive Jason Colvin. John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines) is directing the crime noir drama, which is currently shooting in Toronto, from a script by newcomer Beau Thorne.

The game is made by Remedy, Rockstar published the second one but it's not their game.

Way to make it sound like O'Donnell has been unemployable, not busy raising a family & being nominated for Tony Awards.
