Paul Walker's younger brother gets promoted from his Furious 7 stand-in to Nicolas Cage's action co-star

Filling in for his late brother Paul Walker in unfinished Furious 7 scenes has led to Cody Walker's very own gig. Nice work if you can get it…and he did.

The 27-year-old will play a World War II Naval soldier opposite Nicolas Cage in the upcoming film USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage.

"On the set of my new movie USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage," Cody wrote on his Facebook page.

Though 15 years younger, Cody bears an uncanny resemblance to Paul. He and his other lookalike brother Caleb, 37, have been spending time on the Furious sets since Cody was 11.

Added Jordanna Brewster: "I think that's awesome. If it helped spark a dream, that's awesome!" 

Equally awesome: Cody is engaged toFelicia Knox, and they're getting married next month.

On a more poignant note, here's a video of Cody tearing up while talking about Paul's charity work. Get out your Kleenex!
