Jason Schwartzman is officially coming to HBO.
The actor will play the lead in Bored to Death, a new comedy from the cable network. Schwartzman has been cast as Jonathan, a struggling writer in this thirties who has a drinking problem. The series, which is set in Brooklyn, follows Jonathan's post-breakup decision to pretend to be a private eye.
