Christian Convery’s New Role in '(Saint) Peter' Comes With One Major Twist

Canadian-American actor Christian Convery, known for his role in Sweet Tooth, is quickly on the rise thanks to the exciting roles he’s been landing lately. This time, he’s joining the cast of the coming-of-age comedy (Saint) Peter.

(Saint) Peter follows freshman Peter Blanes as he tries to survive high school—made even harder when his older brother Jimmy is suddenly believed to be a saint. With his world flipped upside down, Peter turns to a group of offbeat new friends to help him cope. All he wants is to get through the year without completely losing it.

Deadline reports that Convery joins Anna Sawai as Sister Theresa, Pete Holmes and Judy Greer as Peter’s parents, Harvey Guillén as Daymond, a journalist, and Douglas Hodge as Peter’s basketball coach. Josh Klausner directs from a script he wrote himself.

Convery has several upcoming projects. He recently wrapped filming Rolling Loud with Owen Wilson and Matt Rife, which is set for release next year. He will also appear as young Victor Frankenstein in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and in the sci-fi film Flowervale Street alongside Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, and Maisy Stella.
