Biniam Bizuneh has been cast in a lead role in the Fox pilot “Culture Clash,” formerly known as “Our People.”
Bizuneh will take over the role of Abel from “The Mayor” alum Bernard David Jones, who was recast following a table read for the pilot.
Based on the Endemol Shine Israeli format “Nevsu: A Young Multi-Cultural Couple,” the single-camera project follows Abel, a man from a bombastic African family who doesn’t have a word in their native language for “privacy,” and his fiancee Jenny (Beth Behrs), who hails from a mid-western family, as they try to build a normal life together.
Bizuneh and Behrs will star alongside Lea Thompson, Charles Parnell, Saidah Arrika, Matthew Glave, and Skai Jackson. Bizuneh previously served as a writer for “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and starred in projects like “LieGuys” and “How to Be Broke.” He is repped by Primary Wave Entertainment.
