Nick Lachey isn't about to let his famous wife Jessica Simpson become the only silver-screen star in the family.

The famous "Newlywed" husband has signed on for a movie role of his own in the upcoming film The Hard Easy, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Lachey will play a high-powered accountant who falls on hard luck and gets caught up in a jewelry heist with a gang of thieves. The new film has reportedly already begun shooting in Los Angeles.

Lachey's other half, Simpson, was recently inked to play the role of Daisy Duke in the big-screen remake of the popular '70s TV show The Dukes of Hazzard.

You Said

While I have many fond childhood memories of The Dukes of Hazzard I don't know that it deserves a movie. Cie la vie!

On the other hand if Nick gets some better stature in Hollywood it might prevent Jessica from being so cocky.
