Taylor Lautner has signed up to star in 'Cuckoo'.
The 'Twilight' hunk is turning his hand to comedy with a role in the BBC Three sitcom, which also stars 'The Inbetweeners' actor Greg Davies and former 'Saturday Night Live' joker Andy Samberg, The Sun newspaper is reporting.
This will be Taylor's first foray into TV since his acting debuts as a teenager, when he had small roles in US programmes including 'The Bernie Mac Show' and 'My Own Worst Enemy'.
The 21-year-old star got his big break when he was cast as werewolf Jacob Black in 'The Twilight Saga' opposite Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
It is not yet known what role Taylor will play in 'Cuckoo', but his addition to the cast is expected to boost ratings.
The Hollywood heartthrob is best known for his chiselled abs and often appears on-screen shirtless, much to female fans' delight.
The actor previously insisted he can't "help" looking so muscular because he has an athletic disposition.
He said: "I just like staying healthy. And I'm a sports freak, so I'm always playing sports. So, I can't help it!"

Kiefer Sutherland has never seen '24'.
The 47-year-old actor, who plays action man Jack Bauer in the hit show, has earned an Emmy and Golden Globe for the hit show but admits he doesn't watch his own work because he is too self-critical.
Appearing on tomorrow night's (08.02.14) episode of 'The Jonathan Ross Show', he said: "I haven't watched an episode of '24', no. But I know how it goes, I have read the script.
"I don't watch the films I've made. I think the last one I watched was 'Stand By Me'. I had a girlfriend and we went to the cast and crew screening.
"I had a very specific idea of what I wanted to do with the character. We watched the movie and everything I thought I wanted to do, I hadn't done at all. All I saw was myself up there and I was mortified and my girlfriend was saying, 'I thought it was really great.' I said, 'Don't patronise me. I need to get another job. If I don't get another job and this comes out I'm dead and my career is over.'
"It was really lucky for me because there was another film that I didn't want to do that I took because of that, which was 'Lost Boys'; so clearly I am not the person to watch my own work."
'24' will return for a brand new series in May after originally being cancelled in 2010 and the cast have been filming in London.
Kiefer said: "It's a pleasure to come and do this twelve episode thing in London, specifically because '24' actually came out in the States at the same time as it did in England and the response in England was immediate. It took a little while to gain momentum in the States and I think one of the reasons we were allowed to stay on the air until it caught on was because of the response here, so it's only fitting that we get to do this last season here."

'Coronation Street's' Carla Barlow will consider having a secret abortion.
The boss of the soap's Underworld factory, played by Alison King, is stunned to find herself expecting her first child with new husband Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne), but when her best friend Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) suspects she's plotting a secret termination, she pleads with her pal to come clean.
Michelle will scold Carla, saying: "You can't keep something like this a secret from your husband. You wouldn't have an abortion without telling him would you?"
However, as the pregnancy wasn't planned and Carla feels like she wouldn't make a very good mother, she hits back at Michelle.
According to the Daily Star newspaper, Carla argues: "What he [Peter] doesn't know won't hurt him. I'd be a lousy mother, like my mother before me. What if I don't like it? I can't just sack my own baby."
The Weatherfield businesswoman, played by 40-year-old Alison, also has a frosty relationship with Peter's son Simon (Alex Bain) from a previous marriage and thinks another child would take even more of her husband's attention away from her.
She continues: "Peter puts Simon before everything, even me. A baby changes everything, he'll trade me in for a younger model."
Unknown to Carla, Peter has already been playing away from home with a younger woman in the shape of Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan), who is set to be killed off later this year.

William Roache was the subject of a "witch hunt", according to his 'Coronation Street' co-stars.
The 81-year-old actor was cleared of all charges in court yesterday (06.02.14) after standing trial for historic sexual abuse charges - including four counts of indecent assault and two rapes against girls under the age of 16 between 1965 and 1971 - and past Weatherfield stars have blasted prosecutors for wasting public money on the "nonsense" trial.
Ken Morley, who played Reg Holdsworth in the ITV soap, said: "Another waste of public money.
"Considering the Michael Le Vell farce, they should be careful about the waste of taxpayers' money. We all knew it was nonsense from the outset.
"It is part of the Jimmy Savile witch hunt. This all followed the demise of the repulsive DJ from Yorkshire."
87-year-old Jean Alexander, who played Hilda Ogden for 23 years, added to The Sun newspaper: "Why did this ever come to court and leave Bill suffering for such a long time? The law needs to change to stop people making wild accusations nearly half a century on which are wrong and can destroy a person."
After being found not guilty, it's thought William immediately spoke to ITV Granada about his return to 'Corrie' as Weatherfield stalwart Ken Barlow, who has appeared in the soap since its first episode in December 1960.
William - who was written out of the show in May 2013, when the charges were first brought against him - could be back on set by July and back on screens in the autumn.

Kelly Brook resembles men's ideal girlfriend.
The ex-'Celebrity Juice' panellist has been voted the celebrity bachelors would most like their would-be girlfriend to look like, closely followed by former 'X Factor' judge Cheryl Cole, Olympian Jessica Ennis and 'Strictly Come Dancing' diva Denise Van Outen.
In a new poll conducted by dating up Lovoo in the lead-up to Valentine's Day on February 14, pollsters also decided their ideal girl's favourite show would be hit HBO fantasy drama 'Game of Thrones'.
Other shows the ideal woman would eagerly watch, according to the men polled, are sitcom 'Friends', long-running ITV soap 'Coronation Street' and football highlights show 'Match of the Day'.
Lovoo founder Benjamin Bak said: ''It seems that British men have very specific tastes for a girl to live up to. We know that everyone has a favourite hair colour and sometimes even eye colour and height. But we think that avoiding a woman because she might support an opposing football team or enjoy a different genre of films to you, might be being a bit too picky.
"We encourage meeting up with people you share interests with, but suggest not being too strict as you might find that you get to learn something new. Dating is fun and shouldn't become a chore or make you feel as though you won't ever find 'the one'. Being more open to new things will certainly help you find that perfect girlfriend.''

Leonard Nimoy has been diagnosed with chronic lung disease.
The 82-year-old actor - famous for playing Mister Spock in the original 'Star Trek' TV series and movies - has developed obstructive pulmonary disease, despite quitting smoking 30 years ago, and has urged his fans to ditch the cigarettes before it's too late.
He wrote on Twitter: "I quit smoking 30 yrs ago. Not soon enough. I have COPD. Grandpa says, quit now!! LLAP
"Smokers, please understand. If you quit after you're diagnosed with lung damage it's too late. Grandpa says learn my lesson. Quit now. LLAP
"I'm doing OK. Just can't walk distances. Love my life, family, friends and followers. LLAP [live long and prosper] (sic)"
Nimoy - who had a cameo as Spock Prime in 2013 film 'Star Trek Into Darkness' star - was spotted last month in New York City leaving the hospital in a wheelchair, while attached to a breathing apparatus.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a term used for a number of illnesses affecting the lungs, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, which affects millions of people around the world.
The disease damages the air sacs and passages into the lungs, which can then make breathing difficult, and the majority of cases are believed to be caused by cigarette smoke.

Leonardo DiCaprio says Kate Winslet is one of his most loyal friends.
The A-list actor got his big break in James Cameron's iconic blockbuster 'Titanic' alongside the British actress 18 years ago and says the pair are close than ever because she is such a "real" person.
Quizzed about Kate always heaping praise on him, Leonardo told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I feel the same about her. It's been fantastic, honestly, having someone who is my age, and such a real woman."
The Oscar-nominated actor admitted he is even letting Kate stay in his house in Los Angeles while he is away.
He added: "Her husband's awesome, the kids are great, but I don't get to see her as much as I wish."
Leonardo also spoke out about the tragic death of fellow Hollywood heavyweight Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found dead in his New York City apartment last weekend, aged just 46.
He said: "I didn't know him on a personal level, but his work was just astounding. We've lost one of the greats, we really have."
The 39-year-old actor plays debauched stockbroker Jordan Belfort in his latest film, 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and says he had to detach himself from his "personal vanity" to immerse himself in some of the more shocking scenes, which include nudity and narcotics use.
Leonardo explained: "The truth is, I really did everything. It was all me. There were no doubles. Hey, man, I'm playing a modern-day Roman emperor and I'm going to play the hell out of this guy, and anything goes.
"You detach any sense of who you are form the whole process, and just get an excuse to do anything - and so I did! Trust me, there were times when I had to stop and think, 'What am I about to do in this sequence!'
"But then I'd tell myself that I'm playing a character. I'm not going to put my own personal vanity into that process. I did - and showed - whatever I had to."

R. Kelly has allegedly fired his management.
The 'Ignition' hitmaker had signed with artist management firm Red Light Management last year but now the company - which also works with Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys and was founded by Coran Capshaw in 1991 - has reportedly been ditched in favour of Upfront Megatainment owner Devyne Stephens.
An industry insider told the New York Post newspaper: "Kelly hit the management jackpot when he signed with [Coran] Capshaw's company. Leaving Red Light for Stephens would be like quitting the Houston Rockets - or the Yankees - to play for a high-school coach in Podunk. Red Light is furious that Stephens would poach their client. And the company's considering legal action."
Devyne describes himself on his website as a "music mogul" and "extraordinary businessman" who has worked with a string of stars including Gwen Stefani, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey.
While sources claim Devyne had been added to Kelly's team "months ago" others say the 'I Believe I can fly' singer hasn't left Red Light management just yet and is still considering his options.
A different source said: "[Kelly has] gone underground ... he's in a bunker and hasn't been returning calls."

Philip Seymour Hoffman's friends, family and co-stars attended his wake in New York on Thursday (06.02.14). The 46-year-old actor's estranged girlfriend Mimi O'Donnell and the couple's three children Cooper, 10, Tallulah, seven, and Willa, five, paid...

Rob Kardashian doesn't want to get married - because he's scared of getting divorced.
The 26-year-old star - who had a highly-publicised relationship with Rita Ora in 2012 - is afraid of settling down with someone and doesn't want to get hitched in case it didn't work out and he had to go through the courts to separate.
When asked what he was most afraid of, he said: "Probably picking a proper wife and not just rushing something. Actually, I'm probably not afraid of that because I probably just won't get married. But probably like finding the right one, because I don't really believe in divorce, so just finding the right girl."
Meanwhile, the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who appears on the show with his sisters Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian - rarely goes out any more to try and find a girlfriend and admits he spends most of his time playing video games long into the night.
Speaking to the Huffington Post as part of its #nofilter series, he said: "I work out at 9.30 or 10 o'clock at night and sometimes I just keep going. I've never been a big sleeper. Me and all my buddies we don't really ever sleep that much. We're not partying either, we just don't sleep. We'd rather work on other things or do other things."

Michelle Rodriguez wants to star alongside Cara Delevingne in 'Thelma And Louise'.
The 'Fast and Furious' star and the bushy-browed model have been inseparable for the past few months and Rodriguez who has been in talks for the forthcoming movie is "pushing" for Delevingne to be cast too.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Michelle is heavily in demand to take the lead after her success in 'The Fast And The Furious'.
"A few names have been mentioned as her co-star, including Kristen Stewart, Annalynne McCord and Leighton Meester - but Michelle is pushing for Cara.
"She thinks she would light up the big screen and that the pair of them would be a huge hit together."
Delevingne is set to appear in 'Kids In Love' this summer and has recently been filming crime drama 'The Face Of An Angel', which tells the story of a journalist who is chasing the story of a murder and its prime suspect.
The original 'Thelma And Louise' was a cult classic roadie movie which became a box office smash in 1991 and starred Geena David and Susan Sarandon.
They play an Arkansas waitress and a housewife who shoot a rapist and go on the run. The movie also stars Brad Pitt.

Nick Frost and Chris O'Dowd working together was a "disaster", joked director James Griffiths.
The pair star alongside one another in romantic comedy 'Cuban Fury', where Frost's alter-ego Bruce Garrett battles it out with O'Dowd's character Drew as they try and win over their boss' affection.
Since both actors have a great sense of humour they spent "hours and hours" teasing one another while filming which prolonged getting joint sequences shot.
Griffiths explained: "Anything with Nick and Chris was a disaster. I mean it was hours and hours of the two of them ribbing."
The British director was forced to do one particular scene with O'Dowd alone because he struggled to get though it with other cast there, however he insists he wouldn't have had it any other way and claims working with the pair of them was a "joy" as it's the kind of "headache" you want.
Speaking at the UK premiere of the film at the Vue Cinema in London's Leicester Square on Thursday (06.02.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "There is one scene in the office where Chris has to describe what he'd do to Rashida [who plays female lead Julia], which is very, very rude. It went on for about 30 takes and we just couldn't get through it because everyone was gawping. In the end I had to do a single on Chris with no one else in the room, just doing the lines because it was tricky. But that's the joy you want, you want that headache."
Frost and O'Dowd attended the premiere alongside their co-stars Jones, Olivia Colman and Kayvan Novak, as well as singer Paloma Faith.
