Deadline reports that both Morris Chestnut and rapper-actor T. I. have joined the cast of Universal‘s Identity Thief, opposite Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy and Genesis Rodriguez.
The Seth Gordon-directed comedy is produced by Bateman and Scott Stuber. Chestnut will play a Boston police detective in the caper comedy about a successful man (Bateman) whose life is ruined when a woman (McCarthy) steals his identity. T.I. will play a bounty hunter, as Bateman’s character becomes an unlikely companion for McCarthy’s character.
Chestnut was recently seen in Think Like A Man and FX’s American Horror Story. T.I. is co-starring in Kelsey Grammer’s series Boss for Starz, as well as the second season of his own VH1 series Family Hustle. On the big screen, he most recently starred in and produced Screen Gems’ Takers.
