Harvey Keitel Joins ‘Little Fockers’

Published by Jeff Leins on: November 12th, 2009

Harvey Keitel has joined the cast of Little Fockers, the latest in the continuing Meet the Parents trilogy starring Ben Stiller.  This will re-team him once again with acting legend Robert De Niro.

Keitel will play a contractor employed by Stiller’s character, reports THR. The plot focuses on the Fockers struggling to raise two 5-year-old twins.

Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, and Owen Wilson are also returning. Jessica Alba and Laura Dern are new additions for the July 2010 addition. Paul Weitz is taking over directing duties from Jay Roach, who will stay on as a producer.

Try as I might, I can’t get excited about a third one. I thought Meet the Parents was silly fun, but the second was a mess trying too hard to be funny. Besides, Keitel isn’t necessarily known for his comedic roles. His last true comedy was Be Cool…
