Deadline writes that Paul Scheer and Brian Huskey are featured in the upcoming musical comedy film ONE SHOT, starring Topher Grace, which just finished shooting in Mexico. Isaac Rentz directs from a script by Gerry De Leon and Greg Lisi.

Also in the cast are stage vets Taye Diggs and Lesli Margherita, along with NSYNC's J.C. Chasez, and Anne Heche and Rob Riggle. Greg Kinnear also makes a cameo appearance.

In ONE SHOT, "That '70's Show" star Grace will portray a "failed star turned stage manager...who must wrangle the eccentric cast and crew of a new production to save the show's opening night." The project will feature musical numbers, both fantasy and real.

Scheer plays 'Ron', described as "a sweet but slow-witted prop guy, who is overly optimistic in the midst of disaster. Ron is horrified when he accidentally hits the show's female star in the head with a giant prop chopstick -- sidelining her for the opening night."

Huskey is incompetent theater medic 'Lee', who is "recently divorced and trying to get back in the dating game. Lee is as bad at dating as he is practicing medicine."

Scheer will next be seen on the big screen in Hell & Back, as well as the TV series Fresh Off the Boat. He has also appeared on TV in The League, The Hotwives of Orlando, Drunk History, NTSF:SD:SUV and more.

Huskey's TV credits include Bob's Burgers, Selfie, The Hotwives of Orlando, Neighbors, Veep and Childrens Hospital. On the big screen, he has appeared in A Better You, Search Party, This Is the End and more.
