According to TheBoot.com, Trace Adkins has joined the cast of a new film, The Lincoln Lawyer. The film, which also stars Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, John Leguizamo and William H. Macy, tells the story of a lawyer who conducts business from the back of his Lincoln Town Car while representing a high-profile client in Beverly Hills.

“[My role] is just a couple of [scenes]. I enjoy [acting] if I have time to do it,” Trace tells The Boot. “This is an easy thing to do. It takes literally three days out of my schedule. It’s something that I can do and have fun doing.”

Trace will begin shooting The Lincoln Lawyer in August, and the film is set to release next year.
