John Stamos, soon to be on Broadway in Bye Bye Birdie, has been cast in the indie film, Father of Invention, according to a report in Variety.

Stamos will be joining Kevin Spacey, Virginia Madsen and Heather Graham in this project that has already begun filming in New Orleans. In "Father," Stamos will play the man who has taken over Spacey's business and eventually steals his big comeback idea.

Stamos begins performances in "Birdie" on September 10. His previous Broadway credits include appearances in the revivals of Cabaret and Nine.
