Back in 1988 Gary Busey was involved in a motorcycle accident while not wearing a helmet. While he ended up being okay physically, he did suffer brain damage as a result, and is now nuttier than a squirrel turd under an oak tree. It's frankly amazing that the guy continues to act, but I suppose the whole thing makes him rather perfect for a project in which man-eating fish attack a water park.

The Weinstein Company tells us that Busey has been added to the cast of Piranha 3DD. It was announced just yesterday that the film has begun production in Wilmington, North Carolina. Busey joins a cast that includes Danielle Panabaker, Matt Bush, Chris Zylka, David Koechner, Meagan Tandy, Paul James Jordan, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Hector Jimenez, Adrian Martinez, and Clu Gulager. Directed by John Gulager, the film is set to be released on November 23 this year.

Ladies and gentlemen, Gary Busey:
