dr. ken in all about steve

According to the Hollywood Reporter, stand-up comedian (and licensed physician) Ken Jeong has signed on to join the cast of the romantic comedy All About Steve, starring Sandra Bullock, Bradley Cooper and Thomas Haden Church: Jeong on 'Steve' news beat. The story follows "an eccentric, brilliant crossword puzzle fanatic (Bullock) who stalks Steve (Cooper), a CNN news cameraman, across the country after they go on one date." Oh, that sounds so charming. Dr. Ken, recently seen in the summer hit Knocked Up, will play Angus, "a news producer for CNN who travels with Steve and the rest of the crew." He also recently wrapped a role in The Pineapple Express, produced by Judd Apatow and starring Seth Rogen. Glad to see him getting more high-profile work. He's a talented guy and brilliant comic, and deserves the recognition. Check out his MySpace page here.
