After yesterday's casting of Eli Roth, Quentin Tarantino has recruited another actor to Inglorious Bastards, his long gestating war movie. You may not have heard of B.J. Novak – and stop sniggering at his name, this is serious – but he's a key player in the US version of The Office.
He'll play PFC Utivich, a punt New York soldier. The film, which follows Jewish soldiers in Vichy-era France out for revenge on their Nazi oppressors, is set to shoot later this year.
