    Scott Stapp is set to make a cameo as Frank Sinatra in the Ronald Reagan biopic Reagan , and Billboard has the first look at the Creed frontman as the beloved singer before the film hits theaters Friday.

    In the photo, Stapp is seen dressed as Sinatra in a sleek black-and-white suit, singing into an old-school microphone. The project includes a scene in which Stapp performs as Sinatra at Hollywood’s famed Cocoanut Grove nightclub, at a time when Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild.

    Dennis Quaid is set to play Reagan in the film.

    Stapp will also be featured on the movie’s forthcoming soundtrack, covering “Swinging on a Star,” originally introduced by Bing Crosby in the 1944 film Going My Way and later recorded by Sinatra for his 1964 album Sinatra Sings Days of Wine and Roses, Moon River, and Other Academy Award Winners . The pop standard, written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke for Going My Way , won the 1944 Oscar for best original song.

    The star-studded cast also includes Penelope Ann Miller as Nancy Reagan, Mena Suvari as Reagan’s first wife Jane Wyman, Kevin Dillon as Jack Warner, and Jon Voight as a KGB agent who tracked Reagan for decades.

    “Sinatra in performance mode was an exercise in restraint,” Stapp previously said in a statement. “He had this steely, stylish swagger and his sheer presence commanded a room. I was excited to join the cast and blown away by the on-set attention to detail, style, and overall production.”
