Madeleine Stowe is making a run to Louisiana…

The 55-year-old half-Costa Rican American actress and Revenge star has signed on to star in Austin Stark‘s political drama The Runner alongside Nicolas Cage.

Stowe will portray Deborah Price, the steely spouse to Cage’s congressman character.

Bound together by ambition, the two are stuck in a virtually dead marriage that sees Stowe’s character turning the other way when it comes to her husband’s publicly revealed infidelities.

Stark also wrote and produces The Runner, which takes place in the shadow of the 2010 BP oil spill that ravaged the Gulf Coast.

Filming is set to start in New Orleans in June.
