Darren Criss is apparently determined to do it all. As if the 'Glee' star didn't have enough on his plate already, he's taken on yet another project and is set to play comedian Kristen Wiig's love interest in the upcoming movie, 'Imogene.'

It was just confirmed earlier this week that Criss will be replacing 'Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe as the star of the Broadway production, 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' come 2012.

Now, Criss will star opposite Wiig in the dark comedy set for a 2013 release.

The film will follow Wiig's character as she is forced to move back in with her crazy mother and relatives in New Jersey after her suicide attempt in an effort to try and win back an ex-boyfriend fails.

Criss' plays Wiigs savior in the form of her much younger love interest. In real life, Wiig is 37 and Criss is 24. Cougar town!

Criss was also recently promoted to series regular on 'Glee,' with whom he just wrapped a summer tour-turned-concert movie, and is working on his debut solo album.
