Blake Shelton Cast in Western Movie Parody Starring Adam Sandler

Blake Shelton will soon have another chance to show off his acting skills. The singer has been cast in a Western movie parody, 'Ridiculous 6,' starring Adam Sandler.

The film, which marks Sandler's first release as part of a new deal with Netflix, will be a humorous twist on Western ensemble films such as 'The Magnificent 7.' Sandler, who co-wrote the script, will play a man who grew up as an orphan among an Indian tribe.

According to the Wrap, the movie stars set to appear in 'Ridiculous 6' include Taylor Lautner, Nick Nolte, Steve Buscemi, Rob Schneider and Dan Akroyd, among others. Shelton will play Wyatt Earp, while rapper Vanilla Ice will play Mark Twain.

Shelton gave fans a look at his acting when he made his debut as a host of 'Saturday Night Live' on Jan. 24, also serving as the show's musical guest that evening. His appearance proved that he has great comedic skills, as he took part in six of the broadcast's eight sketches.

Shelton is currently climbing up the charts with his latest single, 'Lonely Tonight,' which features Ashley Monroe. The song is the second single from his No. 1 'Bringing Back the Sunshine' album. In other news, Shelton is set to return as a coach for Season 8 of 'The Voice,' which kicks off on Feb. 23 at 8 PM ET on NBC.

'Ridiculous 6' is scheduled to start filming next month. No word yet on a release date.
