Looks like the thinking man’s Michael Cera will be working overtime in 2014. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jay Baruchel has just landed a starring role in FX’s upcoming comedy Man Seeking Woman and in the film adaptation of the Stephen King short story The Ten O’Clock People. Baruchel will star as a man who was recently dumped and a smoker whose anti-smoking medication allows him to see hideous secret realities respectively, which is to say there is a lot of overlap between the two roles, emotionally speaking.
