In a year that seemed as though it couldn’t get any better for Demetri Martin, it has. In addition to his hit sketch show on Comedy Central, Important Things and his starring role in Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock this summer, the 35-year-old comedian will now be starring opposite Brad Pitt in a Steven Soderbergh directed film called Moneyball.
Variety reports:
Martin will play Paul De Podesta, a Harvard grad who turned down Wall Street jobs to use his statistical skills to change baseball scouting tactics. His system, known as “Earned Run Value,” allowed Beane to evaluate valuable players he could hire at low cost.
Martin is currently on tour. Check out his dates here.
