'Prison Break' star joins Depp's 'Rum Diary'

Prison Break star Amaury Nolasco has joined the cast of Hunter S. Thompson adaptation The Rum Diary, claims The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor, who plays Fernando Sucre in the Fox drama, will line up alongside Johnny Depp and Aaron Eckhart to play Segurra, the son of the biggest cement plant owner in Puerto Rico.

Rum Diary sees hard-up reporter Paul Kemp (Depp) leaving New York for the island, where he becomes involved with a woman (Amber Heard) who is dating a wealthy landowner (Eckhart).

Principal photography began in Puerto Rico last week.
