Thomas Mann Joins Disney’s 'Lady and the Tramp'

Actor Thomas Mann has joined the cast of Disney's live-action adaptation of 'Lady and the Tramp'. He will be portraying Lady's human owner, Jim Dear. The actor is best known for his role in the critically acclaimed 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl'. Mann was last seen in 'Kong: Skull Island'.

According to the report, Tessa Thompson will play Lady and Justin Theroux will voice the Tramp. Other than this, Kiersey Clemons is also set to play Mann's wife. The majority of the cast will play CGI characters, similar to Disney's wildly successful adaptations of 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Jungle Book', but Mann and Clemons' characters will be live-action roles. Notably, Filmmaker Charlie Bean is directing the remake.

'Lady and the Tramp' is based on the story of an American Cocker Spaniel named Lady who lives with an upper-middle-class family. But she is set astray when the family has a baby. Lady ends up meeting a mongrel known as the Tramp on the streets. They embark on a romantic journey and eventually fall in love. Dear was the human owner who decided to get rid of Lady after the birth of their child.
