Weeds’ Hunter Parrish signs on for dramedy with Jeff Daniels, Ryan Reynolds

After triumphing on the Great White Way, Weeds’ cutie Hunter Parrish (at left, with stand-up comic Mike Birbiglia) will add a few movie credits to his filmography.

Parrish, one of the stars of the Broadway show Spring Awakening, has signed on for Paper Man, a comedy about the friendship between a washed-up writer and a Long Island teenager, The Hollywood Reporter notes. Parrish will play the teen’s boyfriend. The cast includes Jeff Daniels, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds and Lisa Kudrow.

Along with his work as Silas on Weeds, Parrish will also play opposite Zac Efron and Matthew Perry in the movie 17 Again, due in April. (It’s basically Big for those who’re too young to remember when Tom Hanks was known primarily as a comedian).
