Jeff Goldblum Is Headed To NBC And More Casting News
Can Jeff Goldblum fill the shoes of Sarah Silverman's ex-boyfriend? You better believe it.
The current "Glee" guest star is headed to NBC as Silverman's ex in the pilot for "Susan 313," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
So what is "Susan 313" all about? Loosely based on Silverman's life, the show centers on a newly single woman who just got out of a long relationship. Goldblum steps in as her ex of 10 whopping years.
However, Goldblum shouldn't get too comfortable just yet -- he's currently only slated to guest star in the pilot, but that could change should the series get picked up.
