Lindsay Lohan has landed a co-star to play opposite her portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor in the upcoming Lifetime movie “Liz & Dick,” Gossip Cop confirms.

Playing the role of Richard Burton will be Grant Bowler, who appeared in a few episodes of the HBO show “True Blood,” as well as starred in “Ugly Betty.”

As Gossip Cop has previously reported, the film will focus on Taylor’s tempestuous relationship with Burton, her sometime co-star and two-time husband.

The casting comes just in time. Production on “Liz & Dick” is set to begin on June 4.
