Stealth midget Danny DeVito seems to have focused his career on directing and producing in recent years, so it’s nice to see him acting again. He’s been signed to star in the movie One Part Sugar for writer/director Hart Bochner, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Also on board is Dylan Walsh and Justin Long, in the story of a stranger (DeVito) drifting into a small town run by a young drug lord and real estate mogul (Long). The stranger teams up with locals to fight off hooligans and clean things up. Yes, it’s a comedy.

One Part Sugar is one of seven acting jobs on Danny’s upcoming resume, after several years of occasional cameos. Danny’s also got another directing gig coming up, he’s in the midst of pre-production on his next, something called I Married a Witch.
