Gilmore Girls: Edward Herrmann Joins “Born to be a Star”

Edward Herrmann (Richard Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) has joined the cast of a new Adam Sandler and Jack Giarraputo-produced film, Born to Be a Star.

The new movie will star Nick Swardson starring as a small-town nerd who learns his demure parents were porn stars in the 1970s. This knowledge drives him to leave Iowa for Hollywood, hoping to follow in their footsteps and be the biggest adult-film star in the world.

Other actors in the movie include Don Johnson as a down-on-his-luck porn director who gives the nerd his big break. The cast also includes Christina Ricci, Stephen Dorff, and Tyler Spindel. As yet, there’s no information about Edward Herrmann’s role (I wonder if he’s the dad?).
