Jack Whitehall is eyeing a role which would see him playing his own father.
The comedian is apparently keen to play his dad Michael in a television adaptation of his memoirs Shark Infested Waters: Tales of an Actor's Agent.
The Fresh Meat actor has been talking to Objective Productions about the project, according to The Sun, with a source saying: "It's early days, but Jack has his eye on the role. He'd love to play his dad."
Michael Whitehall's book, which was published in 2007, also tells of his formative years and time working as a schoolmaster prior to his career as an agent.
His clients through the years have included Colin Firth, Dame Judi Dench, Richard E Grant, Academy Award nominee Daniel Day-Lewis and Coronation Street's Nigel Havers.
Jack Whitehall confirmed late last year that a third series of Fresh Meat has been commissioned by Channel 4.
