So far, this comedy pilot in the works from TBS is rounding up a very funny cast!
Today, it was announced that Sarah Silverman, Nicole Byer, and Sam Richardson are joining the cast of Kill The Orange-Face Bear. They are joining the previously announced Damon Wayans Jr., Jessy Hodges, Alex Karpovsky, and Nate Torrence.
The show – which is a live action and animation hybrid – “is a comedy pilot about one man’s epic revenge journey after a bear eats his girlfriend”. The show’s plot – not to mention the title – definitely piques our interest. Check out more on the show in the official release below.
Silverman voices Brenda, the sarcastic badass grizzly bear who attacked and ate Hank’s fiancée Stacy—for personal reasons. When Stacy’s friends panicked and mistook a can of spray paint for bear mace, they turned Brenda’s face orange—but she won’t let being marked make her an easy target for Hank’s revenge plan.
Byer voices Pauline, a bear with perfect fur and perfect nails who uses her feminine wiles to seduce Brenda’s husband.
Richardson voices Steve, the charmingly idiotic grizzly bear with a dangerous habit of breaking into cars to steal snacks and beer.
Previously announced live action cast include Damon Wayans Jr. as Hank, the charming, funny and grieving man who’s hell-bent on tracking down Brenda the bear. Jessy Hodges has been cast as Stacy, Hank’s late girlfriend, as well as Jamie, her twin sister with a confusing secret. Alex Karpovsky plays Ronnie, an oddball park ranger who has a score to settle with Hank. Nate Torrance is Murray, Hank’s best friend and boyfriend to Jamie, who is just trying to keep everyone together.
The show is written, created by, and executive produced by Chris “Romanski” Romano. Trevor Engelson and Steven Fisher, Alex Karpovsky, Jake Szymanski, and Damon Wayans Jr. also serve as executive producers on the show.
