HBO has found an actor for anew pilot that we're actually psyched about! Jason Schwartzman will play "a struggling thirtysomething writer with a drinking problem in Brooklyn" in their comedy Bored to Death, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Mr. Schwartzman is kind of stuck in this role as the resident weirdo/grumpy guy in movies but we don't mind. He'll play Jonathan, a guy who just got his heart broken by his ex-girlfriend and decides to become a faulty private detective.

We wonder which one of HBO's little helpers came up with this one...

They're set for production starting in September in New York.
