Luke will play mechanic-turned-superhero Pat Dugan, who pilots Stripe, a 15-foot robot.
Brec Bassinger plays the title role, a high school student who inherits the cosmic device of a long-gone superhero. Lou Ferrigno Jr. plays Rex Tyler/Hourman, Brian Stapf is Ted Grant/Wildcat, Henry Thomas is Charles McNider/Dr Mid-Nite and Anjelika Washington stars in an as-of-yet undisclosed role.
“When I first moved to Los Angeles in 1996 and saw Bottle Rocket, I became a huge fan and admirer of Luke’s and I literally wrote this part for Luke, hoping that someday and somehow he’d play Pat Dugan. I only envisioned him. And now I feel like I won the lottery! Luke’s talent, humor, compassion — his presence and professionalism — and his creative collaboration, his ideas — we’re so lucky to have him alongside Brec in Stargirl,” said showrunner Geoff Johns.
