As if PDR, the true-life story of swim coach Jim Ellis, wasn’t already loaded with actors including Bernie Mac and star Terrence Howard, the film has grabbed another.

Tom Arnold will play a racist swimming coach who goes up against Howard’s Ellis and his black team in the 1970s. We don’t know who wins, but we’re going to take a guess and say it’s the team run by the guy who was in Hustle & Flow.
