LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Comedian Orlando Jones has joined the cast of the indie comedy-drama "Misconceptions."

The project stars A.J. Cook (CBS' "Criminal Minds") as a religious conservative who receives a message from God telling her to act as a surrogate mother for two gay men desiring to raise a child.

Jones will play Terry, the hopeful parent who comes to the woman's home to micromanage her pregnancy and in the process causes havoc. David Moscow will play his life partner.

Ron Satlof directs from a script he wrote with Ira Pearlstein. Jones' recent feature credits include "House of D" and "Biker Boys."
