Edward Herrmann and Tyler Spindel have joined the cast of Born to be a Star, an upcoming comedy in the works at Sony Pictures.

The film follows a small-town Midwestern nerd (played by Nick Swardson) who discovers his parents were famous porn stars.

Herrmann will play Swardson’s father, while Spindel will play the assistant of a washed up adult-film director who is trying to squirm his way back into the industry.

The film has been written by Adam Sandler. Tom Brady (Hot Chick) will direct.

Shooting starts later this month.
