"Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" regular Jason Sudeikis has been cast in the Columbia Pictures comedy "Bounty Hunter" opposite Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler.

The movie centers on Milo (Butler), a bounty hunter hired to track down his ex-wife, Casidy (Aniston), who has skipped out on bail. Sudeikis will play Stewart, a work friend of Casidy's who falsely believes he is her boyfriend and takes off after her when she goes on the run.

Andy Tennant ("Fool's Gold") is directing the film, from a script by Sarah Thorp ("Twisted").

Sudeikis was a writer on "SNL" before becoming a cast member four years ago. He recently had big-screen roles in "The Rocker" and "What Happens in Vegas."
