Believe it or not, on a list of recognizable actors
Joel Moore, who has landed the other male lead in
Jewtopia has to rank somewhere near the top of the list.
People started paying attention to him as a member of Vince Vaughn's team in comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Furthermore, Moore made his career of playing either geeks or the main character's best friend in favorites as Grandma's Boy and Hatchet. Of course, he didn't miss the opportunity to lay out the fact he has a major role in the highest grossing film of all time as Norm Spellman, Avatar driver and colleague of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington). Moor also portrayed favorite lab technician, permanently sad inside Colin Fisher, on the Fox's Bones.
Jewtopia is a feature adaptation of the off-Broadway hit play from Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson which stars
Ivan Sergei and
Jennifer Love Hewitt as FF first reported. Moore's taking over the second male lead, playing the Jewish best friend of Sergei's character, a gentile who tries to pass himself off a Jew in order to win the affections of a woman he's fallen for, to be played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. But as the non-Jew digs deeper into Judaism, stereotypes collide, cultures clash, chaos and laughter ensue.
The other part of the cast includes significant comic ensemble:
Tom Arnold, most notably in True Lies (1994), Jon Lovitz from NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live from 1985 to 1990, Nicollette Sheridan as Edie Britt on Desperate Housewives, Jamie-Lynn Sigler as Meadow Soprano on the HBO television series The Sopranos, Rita Wilson as producer for My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Wendie Malick as Victoria Chase on the sitcom Hot in Cleveland (2010–present), Camryn Manheim as Elvis's mother Gladys Presley in the 2005 mini-series Elvis, Peter Stormare as Gaear Grimsrud, one of the two kidnappers in Fargo, Lin Shaye as Elise Reiner in the horror film Insidious, Christine Lakin as Alicia ‘Al' Lambert on the 1990sABC/CBS sit-com Step by Step, Hayes MacArthur recently appeared in supporting roles in She's Out of My League, Bree Turner appeared in the comedy The Ugly Truth with Katherine Heigl and Phil Rosenthal, creator of Everybody Loves Raymond. Huh!
Something you can predict based on the cast alone, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. So, stay tuned and watch the trailer for the Shark Night 3D in which Moore will be next seen ending up as ‘fish food' on September 2.
