Paul Walker's youngest brother Cody has landed his first movie role alongside Nicolas Cage in upcoming movie USS Indianapolis.

The 27-year-old has already worked in the movie business as he helped Universal Pictures on the most recent Fast & Furious instalment, after the death of his brother Paul in November 2013.

According to Deadline, Cody is set to follow in his brothers footsteps in his first significant feature film role as an actor.

USS Indianapolis will have Cage starring as Captain Charles McVay, and is based on the true story of the commander who struggled to keep his men alive after their boat was hit by a torpedo leaving 1,196 men waiting to be rescued for four days.

Walker will play one of the Navy soldiers who struggles with survival.
