Former Ed star and Zach Braff’s brother from Scrubs, Tom Cavanaugh will be joining the live action/CGI version of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon Yogi Bear.

Cavanaugh will be joining the cast as Ranger Smith, the purveyor of Jellystone Park, who is always chasing Yogi away from taking tourists picnic baskets. Anna Faris is in the cast as a documentary filmmaker documenting the picnic basket stealing phenom. Dan Aykroyd has joined the cast as well providing the voice of Yogi. Justin Timberlake is also in the film voicing Yogi’s sidekick Booboo.

Production is currently under way in New Zealand. Eric Brevig is directing from a script by Brad Copeland. The film is slated for a December 17, 2010 release.

    I had the pleasure of working on Yogi Bear as an extra actor. I had polite conversation with Tom Cavanagh (or however you spell his name, there could have been a u added for the media) who you are correct in saying is the Park Ranger. The amusement on set is definitely different to watching the finished product. I would like to thank Hollywood for trusting New Zealand with their product. And also projecting a view of perfection of my culture. I got some very sound advice from Tom about weight loss and dental treatments. I certainly think the plastic surgeons in New Zealand could do with some more work as well. I was truely blessed to meet a suck up superfical. I only hope that Hollywood standard can continue in New Zealand with the process and production of more projects. Yogi Bear was my favourite cartoon when I was a child. There is something about 'smarter than the average bear.'
