CMIL is reporting that Jason Aldean will make his acting debut at the Sundance Film Festival this year. Jason will appear in “Sweetwater,” a Western set in the late 1800s. The film will also feature actor Ed Harris and “Mad Men” star January Jones.

According to IMDB.com, the movie tells the story of “a fanatical religious leader, a renegade sheriff, and a former prostitute [who] collide in a blood triangle on the rugged plains of the New Mexico Territory.”

Before this opportunity came up, Jason told the Courier Press if he’d be interested in acting. “It’s one of those things that I would want to ease into, maybe try it out, have a couple small parts or something, just to see if it’d be something that I’d even be interested in.”

“Sweetwater” will premiere later this month during the annual festival which is held in Park City, Utah.

Who doesn't love a good Western?! :)  Sounds interesting...looking forward to checking it out!
