Former NHL bad boy Sean Avery will now be looking to uphold the law.
The veteran of 580 NHL games will be doing an about-face compared to his on-ice antics when he portrays a Watertown police officer in the upcoming film "Patriots Day," about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, according to Matt Juul of Boston Magazine.
Avery posted a picture to Instagram on Tuesday where he's dressed in a police uniform and noted the obvious irony of the situation.
The film - set to be released in 2017 - will be directed by Peter Berg and boast a star-studded cast including Michelle Monaghan, Mark Wahlberg, J.K. Simmons, Kevin Bacon, and John Goodman.
