Jeffrey Donovan has big shoes to fill.
The "Burn Notice" star has joined the cast of Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar," a biopic of longtime FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. Donovan will play Bobby Kennedy, confirming the news in a tweet, writing, "I fly to La Sunday. I have been cars as Bobby Kennedy opposite Ld in Hoover. excited. :-) working with Mr Eastwood again. Dreams come true."
Donovan worked with Eastwood on "Changeling," playing Captain J.J. Jones.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as J. Edgar Hoover, while Armie Hammer plays Clyde Tolson, Hoover's associate FBI director and rumored gay lover.
Because filming of the movie is already underway, given Donovan's late casting, there may not be a huge role for Kennedy in the film. That said, Hoover had a strong dislike of Bobby Kennedy, who during his brother's administration forced Hoover to fight organized crime instead of communism.
"He considered him an outrage.

"Changeling" Blu-ray Review. An unforgetable and moving story in high definition.by Peter Dimako. I never emotionally understood what it would be to lose a child as I never had my own. Now that I have two children, my hair stands up at the thought both of this loss and the fact that somewhere out there are people that can inflict pain on the innocent. "Changeling" is based on the true story of Los Angeles woman Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie), a woman who, in 1928, came home to the horrific discovery of losing her child Walter(Gattlin Griffith). Time with him was promised by the hard-working mother, but, sadly enough, the office had reluctantly pulled her in, leaving the child in a home all alone. Walter vanishes.
