Colin Firth, "Grey's Anatomy" star Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Sam Shepard have joined the cast of "The Accidental Husband," a romantic comedy starring Uma Thurman.
Isabella Rossellini, Lindsay Sloane ("The Stones") and Justina Machado ("Six Feet Under") also have been cast in the film to be directed by Griffin Dunne ("Practical Magic").
The film revolves around Emma Lloyd (Thurman), a local talk radio host with a show about relationships.

Shepard will next appear in "The Assassination of Jesse James" opposite Brad Pitt.
