Lance Gross is joining the cast of Fox Searchlight's untitled family wedding project.

America Ferrera, Forest Whitaker and Carlos Mencia already have been cast in the Rick Famuyiwa-helmed comedy about two families who clash while trying to throw together a wedding in two short weeks.

Famuyiwa also wrote the script for the film, which began shooting Monday. Gross will play the groom-to-be, opposite Ferrera.

Gross, repped by WME Entertainment and Goodmanagement, recently won a NAACP Image Award for his starring role on Tyler Perry's series "House of Payne." He also appeared in Perry's 2008 feature "Meet the Browns."
