Showtime has ordered new half-hour comedy series White Famous led by actor and comedian Jay Pharoah (Saturday Night Live).
The series will be written and executive produced by Kapinos, and executive produced by Foxx, who will guest star in a recurring role.
The series is a collaboration between writer and showrunner Tom Kapinos (Californication) and Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx, based on Foxx’s personal experiences coming up in the business.
Utkarsh Ambudkar (The Mindy Project) plays “Malcolm,” Floyd’s frustrated agent who wants his client to do whatever it takes to make it big.
