Resuming his film career after departing CBS’ “Wiseguy,” Ken Wahl will play a sculptor caught in both a romantic triangle and a conflict with his artist-father in Ion Pictures’ “The Stoneman.” Wahl, currently finishing a role in Nelson Films’ “The Favor”--which also stars Elizabeth McGovern, Harley Jane Kozak and Bill Pullman--starts “The Stoneman” Jan. 17 in L.A. Dimitri Logothetis will direct for producers Nabeel Y. Zahid and Joseph Medawar. Mitchell Calder and Allen Howard wrote the script.

Martin Sheen has signed to star in two films for writer-director Clyde Ware’s Ashby Productions.

In “Rough Diamond,” Sheen will star as an ex-high school football hero now working in the West Virginia coal mines. When insurance won’t pay for his wife’s dental bills, he considers robbing a mine payroll. In “Cass,” inspired by Nicholas Ray’s 1950 classic “In a Lonely Place,” Sheen is a Hollywood filmmaker whose reputation for violence and womanizing makes him a murder suspect. Ware plans to begin production on one of the films by the first of April.
