David Boreanaz

Angel Star Gives Up Ghost

Angel star David Boreanaz will play a ghost writer-or, rather, a writer who’s a ghost-opposite Alan Cumming in Suffering Man’s Charity, an independent dark comedy that Cumming will also direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Boreanaz, who currently stars in Fox’s Bones, will play a struggling writer who is accidentally killed by Cumming one evening. Cumming discovers the writer’s novel and ends up taking credit for penning it. When it becomes a success, the writer comes back to haunt him.

Suffering Man’s Charity also stars Anne Heche, Henry Thomas and Carrie Fisher. Also in the cast are Karen Black and Jane Lynch.
