In Jimmy, KJ Apa steps into the shoes of the legendary actor, supported by a unique cast including Max Casella as director Frank Capra, Kara Killmer as Lady Julia, and Jason Alexander portraying MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer. Other cast members include Julian Works, Sarah Drew, Rob Riggle, and Daniel Fee, rounding out an intriguing ensemble for this intimate production.
KJ Apa sums up Stewart’s heroic legacy perfectly: "Jimmy Stewart was an American Hero. He was among a certain breed of men who understood the true meaning of sacrifice by fighting for our freedom." The film’s narrative culminates with Stewart’s return from the brutal realities of war to take on the role of George Bailey in the timeless classic It’s a Wonderful Life, a performance that has since become iconic.
The storyline covers Stewart’s transformative journey—from his Best Actor Oscar win for The Philadelphia Story to enlisting as a combat pilot and rising to the rank of colonel in the U.S. Army Air Corps. He flew 20 missions over Europe, coming back deeply changed by his wartime experiences. Directed by Aaron Burns and penned by Justin Strawhand, Jimmy sheds light on these pivotal years that shaped the man behind the legend.
Jimmy is slated for release on November 6, 2026, promising a heartfelt tribute to one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars and his extraordinary life beyond the silver screen.
