Imperia Entertainment Cast Ernie Hudson in Role of Roy for 'Never Submit'

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Imperia Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets: IPEI) announced today that its casting director, Rosemary Welden, has cast actor Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) in the role of "Roy" in its mixed martial arts film, "Never Submit." "We are very pleased to have Ernie join our cast of accomplished actors and fighters," said Executive Producer Kenneth Eade.

ABOUT ERNIE HUDSON

He was slimed when he co-starred as one of the Ghostbusters in two films. He played the simple-minded handyman Solomon in the box-office smash The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. He co-starred with Brandon Lee in The Crow and was Warden Glynn in the critically acclaimed HBO series Oz. Ernie Hudson is currently co-starring on Desperate Housewives and has over 100 film and television credits on his resume.

ABOUT "NEVER SUBMIT"

"Never Submit," starring Cam Gigandet, and star fighters Ken Shamrock, Josh Koscheck, Cung Le, Michael McDonald, Mauricio Shogun Rua, and Nate Quarry, is a movie set in the world of MMA. The performances will be a mix of nationally recognized actors and fighters. "Never Submit" is an inspirational tale similar to "Rocky," but the lead character is an intelligent young man (as are most fighters competing in this sport) rather than a beaten-down punch-drunk fighter. An amazing cast of characters will round out this film; each from different walks of life; each with his own set of circumstances and motivating factors driving him to be the best. "Never Submit" is a metaphor describing the way these athletes live their lives.
