Currently filming, "Shrink" centers on Hollywood A-list psychiatrist Henry Carter (Spacey), who, following a personal tragedy, is unable to cope and turns into a pothead with little concern for his appearance and inability to help his patients. Among his clients are a once-famous actress, an insecure young writer and a comically obsessive compulsive uber-agent.

Plemons will play a pot dealer named Jesus, joining a cast that also includes Robin Williams and Saffron Burrows. Jonas Pate, who shot a few episodes of "Friday Night Lights," is directing.
