Jon Heder Heads to "The Benchwarmers"

Tuesday April 19, 2005
Chances are good Jon Heder won't be looking like his Napoleon Dynamite character in the upcoming comedy, "The Benchwarmers," from Revolution Studios. But the baseball comedy does have a Napoleon-like feel to it. The story is centered around a couple of guys who sucked at sports as kids and how they try to make up for their athletic shortcomings as adults. "Saturday Night Live" alumni Rob Schneider, David Spade and Tim Meadows also star in the comedy based on an idea of Adam Sandler's. (Photo of Heder in "Napoleon Dynamite" © Fox Searchlight)
