Stage and screen star Alan Alda will join the previously announced Lauren Ambrose, Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, and Justin Theroux, in the new film Wanderlust, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

In the film, to be directed by David Wain, Aniston and Rudd play an urban couple who stop at a rural B&B, which turns out to be a commune filled with nudists, pot smoking and orgies. Alda will play the head of the community.

Alda, who is probably best known as Hawkeye Pierce on television’s M*A*S*H, has received three Tony Award nominations, for his performances in The Apple Tree, Jake’s Women, and Glengarry Glen Ross. He has also been seen on Broadway in Art, QED, and Purlie Victorious. The actor received an Academy Award nomination for his work in The Aviator and he has won five Emmy Awards.
