“Film stars are no strangers to our region,” said Chuck Strickland, director of the Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce . The chamber is the host organization for Fireball Run. “We welcome Mr. McDonald and all the guests that the production will bring to the island.”
McDonald has played a host of rolls in his acting career, including Darryl Dickinson in Thelma & Louis, and Harry Dougherty in Boardwalk Empire.
