Jamie Lomas is reportedly in talks to star in a Hollywood film.
The former Hollyoaks actor recently moved to Los Angeles to try to start a career in the US.
Lomas has been joined by his former co-star Ricky Whittle, who has stated that he is looking to settle down in the area to focus on his ambition.
"WOW, great weekend, been in talks about a new film, excited, watch this space TICK TOCK BOOM! (sic)," the 31-year-old tweeted earlier this week.
Lomas's fiancée Kym Marsh has dismissed claims that he has "abandoned" her to achieve his dreams.
A friend of the Coronation Street actress has claimed that Marsh has struggled without Lomas in the country, and would find it hard if he were to stay there.
"Kym had no idea how difficult being apart would be," the friend told The Mirror. "It will be distressing if he heads back to LA for some considerable time.
"Kym will be happy if he gets the part, but she will struggle with Corrie and bringing up Polly."
Marsh has also laughed off claims that she wasn't sure if Lomas would succeed in America.
