(Los Angeles, CA) Actor Dorian Missick lands his first comedic lead in the
untitled HBO comedy pilot written by former Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
writers, Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin. Missick will play Jay Favors,
a Harvard educated African-American male who is exceedingly bright,
likable and strategic.
Missick’s character is rival to Riddle
and Salahuddin who play thirty-year-old
reporters attempting to make it big in the burgeoning black mecca of
contemporary Atlanta
while trying their best to dislike the classy, successful and humble Favors. Riddle
and Salahuddin, Lorne Michaels (Saturday
Night Live) and Dave Flebotte are Executive Producers with Jamie Babbit (Hot in Cleveland, Rizzoli & Isles, Drop
Dead Diva) on board to direct the half-hour
pilot.

Dorian Missick! He plays the lead role of “John”
in the independent film “BIG WORDS” which has become a film festival favorite and
now distributed by AFFRM, owned by publicist-turned-film director Ava DuVernay. Recently
he wrapped on Jerry Bruckheimer produced thriller film, “Beware The Night” in
New York City where he joined forces with Eric Bana and Joel McHale as “Gordon”, a Bronx cop who attempts to
