Deadline reports that actor-writer-comedian Biniam Bizuneh (How to be Broke) is replacing Bernard David Jones (The Mayor) as the male lead in their upcoming FOX comedy pilot, Culture Clash.
Culture Clash (which was originally titled Our People) is based on the Israel format Nevsu: A Young Multi-Cultural Couple.
The pilot was written by Vali Chandrasekaran (Modern Family) who serves as an executive producer alongside Lee Daniels.
The pilot is a single-camera series centered on an engaged couple (Bizuneh and Behrs) with deeply divergent backgrounds: he’s from a bombastic African family; she’s from a mid-western family.
