Despite his departure from Smallville, former cast member John Schneider remains to be seen recurrently on television and in the big screen. Apart from his various projects, the 47-year old actor is slated to star in the comedy Sydney White and the Seven Dorks as the character Paul White.

Directed by Joe Nussbaum, Sydney White and the Seven Dorks is a modern retelling of the classic fairytale. It centers on an attractive college freshman as she pledges her late mother’s once dignified sorority. Soon, she discovers that the present sisterhood is not what is used to be but eventually finds a new home with seven outcasts. With her socially challenged new friends, she attempts to change the school’s social hierarchy.

Shot from February 14, 2007 to April 4, 2007, filming locations of Sydney White and the Seven Dorks include Rollins College, University High School in Orlando, and the University of Central Florida.

Apart from the Smallville actor, the movie stars Amanda Bynes as Sydney White, Matt Long as Tyler, Sara Paxton as Rachel, Jack Carpenter as Lenny, Crystal Hunt as Dinky, Jeremy Howard as Terrance, David Skyler as Hacker, Danny Strong as Gurkin, and Samm Levine as Spanky.

Furthermore, Schneider is set to star in three more movies, including the thriller Conjurer, in which he stars Frank Higgins, the comedy-drama Beautiful Loser as the character Andre, the suspense-thriller Terminal Trap as Harlan Hull, and on the science fiction television show Ogre as Henry Bartlett. All the said projects are lined up for 2007 until 2008.

Schneider, a native of Mount Kisco, New York, is also known for his role on The Dukes of Hazzard. His acting credits include Lake Placid 2, Hidden Secrets, King of the Hill, Living with Fran, Snow Day and Relic Hunter among others.
