Mandy and Kyle just made major moves in the Last Man Standing finale, and now actor Christoph Sanders is doing the same! The 31-year-old who plays Mike Baxter’s (Tim Allen) goofy son-in-law on the Fox sitcom has just signed on for a big movie.

Deadline reported that Christoph has been cast in a satirical comedy called Faith Based. According to iMDB, he’ll play Hoyt in the film, which follows “two idiot friends” who attempt to make their own faith-based movie after discovering the genre can be very lucrative.

American Housewife’s Carly Craig also has a role in Faith Based, as does Danny Woodburn, Lisa Schwartz, Richard Riehle, Mindy Sterling, Marlon Young, and David Ury. Lance Reddick and Danielle Nicolet will also appear. There’s no release date yet, but it seems filming is underway.

Before you jump to conclusions, it doesn’t appear this will interfere with Last Man Standing, especially because season 8 of the show won’t air until 2020 (and it’s moving to Thursday nights, by the way). It doesn’t appear Christoph has any intention of leaving the Baxters behind, which means Faith Based is just an added bonus for his biggest fans.

Christoph isn’t the only Last Man Standing cast member to have a side hustle, either. Amanda Fuller has appeared on Orange Is the New Black, while Nancy Travis stars in The Kominsky Method. Even newcomer Molly McCook has parts in other shows, and we all know that Tim’s been busy working on a little project you may have heard of called Toy Story 4. The Baxters sure are busy!
