Gyllenhaal’s “Crossroads” Casts Another Pair

Stephen Gyllenhaal, father of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, is better known for directing television episodes than feature films, but that may soon change thanks to his political comedy, “Grassroots.” The film, which is an adaptation of Phil Campbell’s memoir “Zioncheck for President: A True Story of Idealism and Madness in American Politics,” had already assembled an interesting little cast (Jason Biggs, Joel David Moore, Lauren Ambrose, Tom Arnold, Cedric the Entertainer, Christopher McDonald and Emily Bergl), and has now added two more: DC Pierson (one of the founding members of “Derrick Comedy,” star of “Mystery Team,” and author of “The Boy Who Couldn’t Sleep and Never Had To”) and Cobie Smulders (”How I Met Your Mother,” “The L Word”).
