November 29th, 2011

The always lovable Judd Hirsch has done many things in his career since he was springboarded to stardom in the hit TV series "Taxi". Finally, though, he is getting to indulge his darker side ... which could spell very good things for genre fans.

According to Variety the producers of The Red Robin have tapped Hirsch, Ryan O'Nan, C.S. Lee, Jaime Ray Newman, Caroline Lagerfelt and Joseph Lyle Taylor to star in the psychological thriller.

Screenwriter Michael Z. Wechsler will direct and produce.

O'Nan, who starred in The Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best, will play the adopted adult son of Hirsch's character -- a famed psychiatrist specializing in trauma who was rumored to have done some confidential work for the CIA during the Cold War. A family reunion on the psychiatrist's death bed spirals into chaos when the father's accused of adopting his large family of children for the purposes of dark experiments in mind control.

Nifty! More soon!
