Chase Stokes is headed to the big screen!
The Outer Banks star, 29, has landed his first starring role in the new feature film Music Got Me Here, based on the inspiring real-life story of how determined high school music teacher Tom Sweitzer used music therapy to help beloved former student Forrest Allen (Stokes) recover from a life-altering accident.
“Forrest’s story is one of perseverance and resilience – something that we could all learn from,” Stokes shares with PEOPLE. “I’m excited and honored to be welcomed into Forrest’s world, and to tell this story side-by-side with him and his family. I feel so lucky to be on this journey alongside a creative team that I deeply respect and admire.”
