Actor Ben Platt has been added to the cast of Ang Lee's upcoming project 'Billy Flynn's Long Halftime Walk.'

The adaptation of the acclaimed 2012 Ben Fountain novel centers on a group of servicemen sent on a "Victory Tour" after returning from combat in Iraq, Deadline.com reported.

The 21-year-old 'Pitch Perfect' actor, who recently did 'The Book Of Mormon' will play the role of Josh, who works for the Cowboys organization and is in charge of taking care of the Bravo Squad during its day at the football stadium.

The film also star Garrett Hedlund (Unbroken), Steve Martin and Joe Alwyn, and Lee will begin filming this month in Atlanta from a script by Oscar winning 'Slumdog Millionaire' scribe Simon Beaufoy.
