Judy Greer has joined a Fox comedy pilot, proving that she is still more appreciated on TV than in movies, where she usually doesn’t have much to do. In the pilot, she will star as the head of a human resources department.
Currently titled HR, the pilot was written by Laura Steinel and will be directed by The League’s Jeff Schaffer, reports Deadline. Greer will also produce and stars as Jane, the under-appreciated HR head at a plastic molding plant. She tries to manage her incompetent staff and an eccentric CEO.
Greer was in high demand for a pilot, especially after FX ended Married after two seasons.
The actress is currently working on her first film as director, a comedy called A Happening of Monumental Proportions, which will star Allison Janney, Common and Jennifer Garner.
In 2015, Greer starred in Jurassic World, Ant-Man and Tomorrowland, although she sadly didn’t have great roles in any of them. (She did have a more substantial role in Grandma with Lily Tomlin, though.) Her next movies are Wilson and Pottersville and is still lending her voice to Archer for FX.
