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’

. 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. What a busy and exciting year for 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 solve strange crimes with mysterious surroundings.
