Joseph Cross takes another sabbatical from Trinity College

The up-and-coming Pelham native has signed on to star in “Untraceable,” a thriller about an FBI agent (played by Diane Lane) racing against time to track down an online predator (Cross’s character). Apparently, sophomore year at Trinity College will have to wait another year.The movie is supposed to begin filming soon in Portland.
When I interviewed Cross for the February issue of InTown, he told me that, after starring in “Running With Scissors” and “Flags of Our Fathers” back to back, he was finally ready to return to Trinity. “I’ve gotten really picky,â€? he told me. “But if there’s a great movie opportunity, or a director like PT or Wes Anderson calls me—let’s say I wouldn’t turn them down.â€?
Now, I don’t think the movie’s director, Gregory Hoblit, is in the same auteur league as PT or Wes—or M. Night Shyamalan, Clint Eastwood, or Ryan Murphy (the other directors Cross has worked with)—but the opportunity to play a cyber stalker villain is too good to pass up. You think Erika Christensen even considered college when she was offered the bad-guy role in “Swimfan”? No way, Jose.
