Jon Heder made a name for himself as a nerdy high schooler named Napoleon in the cult favorite, "Napoleon Dynamite." And where Napoleon loved his tater tots, Heder has a new favorite food in his latest role ... brains. Heder will play Drex, "a college student who finds himself undergoing an inexplicable transformation that begins when he wakes up at the bottom of a water-filled bathtub," in "Woke Up Dead," an online series from Sony's Crackle.com.
The series, which premiered on Oct. 5, will consist of 23 four-minute episodes and can be viewed at the Crackle Web site or at wokeupdead.tv. "Dead" also stars Jean Smart of "Designing Women" and Wayne Knight who is most remembered as Newman on "Seinfeld."
