Office Space and "Band of Brothers" star Ron Livingston has signed onto join the cast of Jay Roach's Dinner for Schmucks, a remake of writer/director Francis Veber's 1998 French-language comedy The Dinner Game.

The picture is Roach's first theatrical film since Meet the Fockers in 2004, although he directed the Golden Globe-nominated HBO film Recount in 2008. The plot surrounds a group of upper-class dinner friends who play a game to see who can bring the most embarrassing person to the dinner table for the group to make fun of; Livingston joins the already-attached Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis and British comics David Walliams and Lucy Punch.

Livingston most recently appeared in The Time Traveler's Wife. Dinner for Schmucks is slated for release on July 23rd, 2010.
