LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Veteran Character Actor Dominic Pace has been cast in a supporting role for Disney Plus in Chang Can Dunk. In Chang Can Dunk, a 16-year old, constantly marginalized, not-popular high school kid and wannabe basketball player becomes obsessed with the idea of learning to dunk, all in an effort to best the school's basketball star, Matt — and hopefully win the adoration of the very pretty Kristy. Dominic plays  Mr.Bennevido in the upcoming project and is excited to be part of the popular franchise.

The feature will be produced by Lena Waithe and Rishi Rajani's Hillman Grad Productions along with Brad Weston and Negin Salmasi.

Pace became a Fan Favorite for the Star Wars Franchise with a very small, but popular appearance as "Gekko" The Bounty Hunter in the hit series, The Mandalorian for Disney Plus.
