ABC's Mandy Moore comedy pilot has cast the actress' parents.
Stockard Channing and Kurt Fuller have joined the untitled project, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The comedy explores the inherent conflict that exists between the families you grow up in and the ones we make as adults. It will be told through the perspective of Annie (Moore) and Ben, a young newlywed couple who get the opportunity of a lifetime to run a hip, new restaurant in Annie's hometown bringing her closer to her needy and high-maintenance family.
Channing will play Barbara, the warm and devoted and sometimes overbearing and manipulative matriarch of her family. For his part, Fuller will play her husband Steve, who is described as a good-natured guy and dad who's used to taking a backseat to his take-charge wife.

Awesome! Love them both. And still bitter about "Better With You" being cancelled.
ReplyDeleteBoth of them are fantastic, always. Not sure it will get me to watch though. Need more info/clips/etc.
ReplyDeleteStockard classic actress missed her presence
ReplyDeleteHuh.... Two more great actors I love in a pilot I'm only somewhat interested... it's been quite a trend this pilot season...
ReplyDeleteKurt Fuller is awesome, good or evil, but I'll miss seeing him as the goofy Woody on Psych.
ReplyDeleteGreat casting - the plot sounds underwhelming but will give it chance if it gets picked up.
