Port Moody actor, singer, model and presenter Frankie Cena will appear as one of the five NSYNC musicians for Lifetime’s upcoming biopic about Britney Spears.
Cena will portray Chris Kirkpatrick in the TV movie along with Nathan Keyes (Justin Timberlake), Zac Vran (JC Chasez), Matt Visser (Joey Fatone) and Connor Paton (Lance Bass).
Spears, who is not involved in the making of the two-hour show about her rise to stardom and relationship with former NSYNC frontman Timberlake, will be played by Natasha Barrett.
Production started in Vancouver last month and is set to premiere next year.
Last month, Cena also headlined a concert at the Michael J. Fox Theatre to benefit the B.C. Boys Choir, the group he sang with while growing up in Burnaby.
In the Tri-Cities, Cena is best known for capturing the Port Moody and Tri-City Idol competitions. He was also named Mr. World Canada in 2012 and, earlier this year, was a presenter for the Mr. World contest in Southport, England.
