Actor Hank Azaria has signed up for two new comedies, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Azaria will play Egyptian pharaoh Kah Mun Rah in Fox's Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian and Abraham in Judd Apatow's biblical comedy Year One.

Ben Stiller and Amy Adams are already committed to the Museum sequel while Jack Black and Superbad's Michael Cera are among the Year One cast.

Shawn Levy will return to direct Night at the Museum 2. Its 2006 predecessor was a box office hit taking in $573 million in receipts.

Azaria is most famous for voicing characters in The Simpsons, including bartender Moe Szyslak and convenience store owner Apu.
