Producers have hired a young actor to play marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

He is 18-year-old Alex Wolff.

Wolff is a former Nickelodeon star, who has a striking resemblance to Tsarnaev.

Also, Roxbury native Michael Beach will play former Massachusetts Governor, Deval Patrick.

Beach previously starred in "Third Watch," "The 100" and "Sons of Anarchy." 

He’ll appear next to Mark Wahlberg, Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, and more big names.
