While the lead role in the upcoming comedy Avon Man would have been a great career move for Hugh Jackman, who was originally slated to star in the film, Mark Wahlberg has agreed to fill in for Jackman. Wahlberg just seems to click with comedic material, so he should be perfect as a man laid off from an auto dealership who finds success as an Avon salesman. The script is currently being re-worked by Baby Mama scribe Michael McCullers.
