Zack Pearlman will soon be asking Why Him?

The Mulaney actor has been cast in the Fox feature alongside James Franco, Bryan Cranston, Zoey Deutch, Keegan-Michael Key and Megan Mullally, The Hollywood Reporter reveals.

John Hamburg, who co-wrote the script with Ian Helfer, is helming the project which centers on a Midwestern dad (Cranston) who travels with his family to visit his daughter (Deutch) at college, where he finds himself involved in a battle for her affections with her new, brash tech-billionaire boyfriend (Franco).

Pearlman has appeared on Key and Peele and Workaholics, and could recently be seen in Nancy Meyer's The Intern.
