Actor Max Greenfield has confirmed that he will star in writer-director Michael Showalter's new comedy 'Hello My Name Is Doris'.
The 33-year-old 'New Girl' actor revealed that the movie will centre on his character beginning a romance with a much older woman, reported The Wrap.
"It's a story about Doris, this character, she's an older woman," Greenfield said.
"Her mother passes away and she's then forced to kind of find a new life in the city, and she meets this younger guy and thinks that he's the answer."
Greenfield added that the screenplay is "very funny", and also disclosed that the female lead has yet to be cast.
The actor earned a Golden Globe nomination this year for playing womaniser Schmidt in 'New Girl', and also recently reprised his role as Leo D'Amato in the 'Veronica Mars' movie.
'Hello My Name Is Doris' writer-director Showalter was a cast member of the influential sketch comedy group The State.
He previously directed the 2005 feature film 'The Baxter', which also saw him star opposite Elizabeth Banks and Michelle Williams in the quirky romantic comedy.
Showalter teamed up with fellow former State member David Wain to write Greenfield's upcoming comedy 'They Came Together' as well.
