Trace Adkins portrays the "Angel of Death" in An American Carol, which will be released in theaters nationwide on Oct. 3. Adkins's character is one of three spirits that visit a Hollywood filmmaker in this modern-day twist on Charles Dickenson's "A Christmas Carol. "I'm the guy who performs the same function that the Grim Reaper did in the Charles Dickens' tale - he's showing this guy what the future could possibly look like and is trying to scare him straight," Adkins said in a press release. "It was really cool playing a character who holds life and death in his hands." An American Carol is directed by David Zucker and features Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Leslie Neilsen, Dennis Hopper, James Woods, Robert Davi, Geoffrey Arend, Serdar Kalsin and Jon Voight. Adkins, who is also planning to release his 10th album in November, will perform the National Anthem at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, Sept. 4. He is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. EST.
