Comedian Pete Holmes (Crashing) is set to star in an upcoming untitled comedy for CBS and he will play an aspiring Midwestern professional bowler in the story.
The series comes from writer Mark Gross (Man With A Plan) and the story revolves around Tom Smallwood, “a Michigan man who is laid off from a General Motors automotive plant and decides to pursue his dream of becoming a professional bowler.”
David Hollander and Brian D’Arcy James are executive producers on the project. Hollander was the showrunner on Showtime’s Ray Donovan, and he’s currently serving as the writer, director, executive producer, and showrunner on a series adaptation of 1980 hit American Gigolo for Paramount Television Studios.
I enjoy the comedy of Pete Holmes and this sounds like it’ll be a great project for him to take on! I’ll be looking forward to it.
