Whitfield Checks Into Goldberg Pilot
Dondre Whitfield has been tapped as the male lead opposite Whoopi Goldberg in her untitled comedy pilot for NBC.
Comedian Omid Djalili, who has a talent holding deal with NBC, also has been cast in the project from Carsey-Werner-Mandabach and NBC Studios.
The show stars Goldberg as a former diva who runs a modest boutique hotel with her brother (Whitfield). Djalili will play the handyman at the hotel.
Whitfield co-stars on NBC's freshman comedy "Hidden Hills." His series credits also include the NBC comedy "Inside Schwartz" and UPN's "Girlfriends."
British-Iranian actor-comedian Djalili got the attention of U.S. TV talent scouts last year with his Perrier Award-nominated stand-up performance at last year's Edinburgh festival.
Djalili's feature credits include "The Mummy," "Gladiator" and "Spy Game."
