Nasim Pedrad to play a teenage boy for Fox
After surviving Mulaney, Nasim Pedrad has earned a chance to take on any role she wants. It’s appropriate, then, that her next big TV gig will be the kind of juicy part that any serious actor would kill for. According to The Wrap, Pedrad will be writing, executive producing, and—of course—starring in a new Fox comedy called Chad: An American Boy. She’ll be playing the eponymous Chad, a 14-year-old boy from a Middle Eastern family “who is tasked with being the man of the house—leaving him with all the responsibilities of being an adult without any of the perks.”
