For their last few movies, the Coen Brothers have rounded up some heavyweight talent - George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Tommy Lee Jones. After NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, they can pretty much get whoever they want.
So for their next movie, they're going with another familiar face... just not quite as A-list. They've brought in TV fixture, voice actor and Clooney chum Richard Kind ("SPIN CITY", "MAD ABOUT YOU") to star in their comedy A SERIOUS MAN. He'll be joined by Michael Stuhlbarg, a Tony-nominated actor with only a bit of screen and TV experience.
Set in 1967, SERIOUS centers on Larry Gopnik (Stuhlbarg), a Midwestern professor whose life begins to unravel when his wife sets out to leave him and his socially inept brother (Kind) won't move out of the house. It's conceivable a few other Coen regulars will show up as well.
Extra Tidbit:
Kind has loaned his voice to Pixar twice: for CARS and A BUG'S LIFE.
