AceShowbiz - Having played an elf and a mathematical genius, David Krumholtz will undergo a drastic makeover for his next acting gig. IFC has ordered a presentation for potential new series "Gigi's Bucket List" starring the actor as Gigi, a 72-year-old Jewish grandmother.
The show follows Gigi, who is from Boca Raton, Fla., as she pursues everything she deprived herself of throughout her life after discovering millions in her dead husband's bank account. Krumholtz is executive producing with Grandma's House Entertainment's Ben Newmark and Dan Newmark, Ricky Mabe, and Zach Golden. The presentation is scheduled to shoot later this year for 2015 series consideration.
Krumholtz, who is known for his roles as Charlie Eppes on CBS' series "Numb3rs" and as Bernard the Arch-Elf in "The Santa Clause" (1994) and its sequel "The Santa Clause 2" (2002), has portrayed Gigi on website Weather From, where the old lady provides weather forecasts.
