‘The Residence’: Barrett Foa Joins Netflix’s Shondaland Drama As Recurring
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: NCIS: Los Angeles alum Barrett Foa has been tapped for a recurring role opposite Uzo Aduba in Netflix’s Shondaland murder-mystery drama The Residence, from writer Paul William Davies.
Using Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House as a jumping off point, the eight-episode series is described as “a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and back stairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion.” Its premise: 132 rooms.
157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective (Aduba). One disastrous State Dinner. Foa will play Elliot Morgan, “the first gentleman” of the White House.
He knows nothing about the social culture of Washington or the expectations of his role in the White House. Cast also includes Randall Park, Andre Braugher, Susan Kelechi Watson, Ken Marino, Jason Lee, Bronson Pinchot, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Edwina Findley, Molly Griggs, Al Mitchell, Dan Perrault and Mary Wiseman.
