'Grey's' actor joins cast of New Line comedy

Eric Dane ("Grey's Anatomy") is rounding out the already large cast of New Line's ensemble comedy "Valentine's Day," set to begin shooting this week with Garry Marshall directing.

Dane will play a quarterback struggling over the decision of whether to retire. He's appeared in "Marley and Me" and "X-Men: The Last Stand."

Mike Karz is producing with Wayne Rice.

Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace and Hector Elizondo star.

"Valentine's Day" follows five interconnecting stories on Valentine's Day in Los Angeles. Katherine Fugate wrote the first script, and Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein teamed for the most recent.

Dane's repped by CAA and Management 360.
