Poland native has role in Nick Nolte movie

Jeff Hochendoner of Poland has a role in “Warriors,” a movie starring Nick Nolte that is now being shot in Pittsburgh. Hochendoner, who is a professional actor who frequently works in films shot in Pittsburgh, plays a military policeman in “Warriors.”

The Lionsgate studio film centers on Nolte’s character and his two sons, who meet in a mixed martial arts tournament championship. One son is an AWOL Marine who is being pursued by Hochendoner’s character.

“Warriors” is scheduled for a 2010 release.

Another movie that Hochendoner had a role in was released on DVD this week. “My Bloody Valentine,” which also was shot in 3-D, earned $60 million and cost $12 million to make.
