Comedy stars DeVito, Broderick

Jorge Garcia is about to get into the holiday spirit for 20th Century Fox.

According to Variety, Garcia is joining the cast of "Deck the Halls," a seasonal comedy being rushed into production with John Whitesell ("Big Momma's House 2") at the helm.

The film focuses on the rivalry between two men (Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito) over increasingly garish Christmas decorations. Eventually they learn the true meaning of the holiday -- gifts.

The project's cast also includes Kristin Chenoweth, Kristin Davis, Lochlyn Munro and Alia Shawkat.

Garcia will play Wallace, described as "a colorful character in town who is constantly bothering Broderick's character."

On "Lost," Garcia plays unlucky lottery winner Hugo "Hurley" Reyes. As part of the show's ensemble, he won a Screen Actors Guild award earlier this year. Previous credits for Garcia include "Becker" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
