A farmer (Bob Tarasuk) and a rapper (FreddieGibbs) go to work in Down With the King.
What does Bob Tarasuk have in common with Noomi Rapace? They're both actors, and they've both had their arm up inside a pregnant ewe."Been there," he beamed.. For Tarasuk, it's just part of life. Back around 2010, he was the subject/star/lead in director Diego Ongaro's"Bob and the Trees," a vérité-style drama about a fictionalized version of himself: a Massachusetts livestock farmer with a predilection for gangster rap.
