Ben Gibbard, lead singer of the band Death Cab For Cutie, is apparently going to be acting, yes acting, in John Krasinski (of The Office)'s film adaptation of David Foster Wallace's short story collection called Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. From Pitchfork:

"Eagle-eyed reader Trey Burke alerted Pitchfork to the movie's IMDB page, which lists Gibbard as playing a character named Harry. Other cast members include a guy who was in Snakes on a Plane (Bobby Cannavale), a guy from "Saturday Night Live" (Will Forte), a girl from "That '70s Show" (Mila Kunis), Krasinski's "Office" coworker Rashida Jones, and Krasinski himself."

I was just saying the other day my crush on Krasinski was beginning to bloom, and he's really aiming for my heart with this one, eh? He'll have to work a lot harder to ever come close to my affection for his Office UK counterpart, Martin Freeman, whom I just spotted as a co-star to Jude Law and Juliette Binoche in the approaching Anthony Minghella film Breaking & Entering, which I thought was already out but no no no, must wait til the end of the month.

Oh, also: Bobby Cannavale! Mmmm...
