Zach Gilford and Rodrigo Santoro to woo Alexis Bledel

Alexis Bledel will be joined by some familiar faces for her Fox Atomic comedy "The Post-Grad Survival Guide."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Zach Gilford and Rodrigo Santoro are in place as Bledel's potential love interests, while Michael Keaton and Carol Burnett will play members of her eccentric family.

The plot revolves around the preciously named Ryden Malby (Bledel), a recent college graduate forced to move back to her hometown and back into her home with her wacky family.

Set to begin production this week, "The Post-Grad Survival Guide" (formerly titled "Ticket to Ride") is directed by Vicky Jenson ("Shrek," "Shark Tale").

Gilford's character is the best friend who she may or may not truly be in love with, while Santoro will play the studly neighbor next door.

Santoro's studly bona fides have been on display in the spring smash "300" and as the ill-fated Paolo on "Lost."

Gilford is best known as Matt Saracen from the beloved NBC drama "Friday Night Lights."

"Batman," "Gung Ho" and "The Dream Team" star Keaton was most recently spotted on the big screen in "Game Six" and on the small screen in "The Company."

Burnett, of course, is one of the industry's true legends. Last seen guest starring on "Desperate Housewives," she'll be heard in the animated "Horton Hears a Who!"
