THIS IS US Star Chris Sullivan Set to Star in ABC Comedy Series Pilot THE SON IN LAW
As the hit series This is Us comes to a close, its high-demand stars are finding new projects to land on. Chris Sullivan, who is also known for his roles in Guardians of the Galaxy and Camping, is set to star in the ABC comedy series pilot The Son in Law. The series is written and executive produced by Ajay Sahgal and executive produced by Jake Kasdan and Melvin Mar.
In the series, “a salt-of-the-earth man, Jake (Sullivan), finds himself seeking the approval of his new fiancée Asha’s sophisticated parents, even as he is a difficult-to-impress father-in-law to his daughter’s longtime boyfriend.”
Sullivan’s character Jake is “divorced, with one 21 year old daughter, never thought he would love again, until Asha came along. The problem is that Jake, a hard-working plumbing contractor, is solidly middle class, while Asha hails from the equivalent of uber-wealthy South Asian royalty. Jake wants to marry Asha, and while he still needs to ask Asha’s father for his blessing, the real stumbling block is Asha’s loving but controlling mother, who doesn’t hide her feelings about Jake being all wrong for her daughter.”
This sounds like a fun show. I like sitcoms, and I think Sullivan is a charming actor that sounds perfect for this role.
