Ving Rhames Goes On A 3D Hunt For 'Piranha'

You've seen him fight zombies, the CIA, and even Nicolas Cage. Now you can watch Ving Rhames do battle with ancient but deadly fish in the upcoming Piranha 3-D. Ving stopped by PIX Morning News to chat about this horror flick that was deemed "too hot" for the San Diego Comic-Con.

The sea creatures that give the film its name are a 200-million-year-old species thought to be extinct, but these killer goldfish resurface during spring break, when a normally sleepy town is flooded with boozing and bikini-clad college kids. Ving plays Deputy Fallon, who, along with star Elisabeth Shue, must fight the man-eating fish.

A New York City native, Ving's career spans TV, stage and of course, the silver screen. He began his career on Broadway before appearing in television shows like Miami Vice and then transitioning to feature films. Some of his best known credits include Pulp Fiction mobster Marsellus Wallace; computer hacker Luther Stickell in all three Mission: Impossible movies; and a zombie combatant in Dawn of the Dead. Ving won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of boxing promoter Don King, and throughout his 25-year career, he's starred opposite big screen favorites like Tom Cruise, Samuel L. Jackson, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Now you can catch Ving in Piranha 3-D starting August 20. Watch the trailer here and visit the movie's official website to learn more.
