Stolz Takes on Imus

Eric Stolz, veteran redhead and lauded actor, has tentatively signed to play the lead role in the Don Imus biopic "God, I Hate Myself." The screenplay has been written by lesser known younger Wayans brothers, Tito and Jermaine Wayans, and the film will be directed by Spike Lee.

Stolz agreed to play Imus after reading the script. "This character has so many layers," he confided to T/P entertainment correspondent, Mitch, "it's an actor's dream. Plus, I'm really good at playing a horribly disfigured, self-loathing racist."

The film is slated for a February 2008 release date to coincide with Black History month.
