Aidan Quinn has been tapped to co-star in HBO's original movie "Empire Falls" in the last major casting for the adaptation of Richard Russo's best-selling novel.

Quinn joins Ed Harris and Paul Newman in the project, which also co-stars Helen Hunt, Joanne Woodward, Robin

Wright Penn, Dennis Farina and newcomer Danielle Panabaker.

"Empire Falls," a comedic look at blue-collar life in the depressed Maine mill town of Empire Falls, centers on Miles Roby (Harris), a decent fortysomething guy stuck running Empire Grill, the town's most popular eatery, for 20 years. He has a pending divorce, a loose-cannon father (Newman), a troubled younger brother (Quinn) and a teenage daughter (Panabaker) on his hands.

Quinn recently toplined the indie "Song for a Raggy Boy," which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and A&E's "Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor." He will next be seen in CBS' "Plainsong," Showtime's "Cavedweller" and the indie "Main Line."

Quinn is repped by WMA, Framework Entertainment and attorney Ira Schreck.
