HBO orders gay-themed dramedy series starring 'Glee's' Jonathan Groff

HBO has ordered up eight episodes of a new gay-themed dramedy series with Broadway star and Glee actor Jonathan Groff taking the lead role of Patrick. Set to air in 2014, the yet-to-be titled series will revolve around three friends in San Francisco who are exploring ?the fun and sometimes overwhelming options available to a new generation of gay men.? Also starring in the project will be Frankie J. Alvarez (from the recently cancelled NBC series Smash) and Murray Bartlett (Guiding Light).

The project hails from director Andrew Haigh, who helmed the pilot based on Michael Lannan?s feature script Lorimer. Sarah Condon (Bored to Death) and David Marshall Grant (Brothers and Sisters) will executive produce the series, alongside Haigh, with Lannan receiving a co-EP credit.

Groff is known best for his role as Jesse St. James on Glee, but his television credits also include appearing on season 2 of Starz ill-fated Boss, The Good Wife, and a recurring role on One Life to Live in 2007. Groff will also be appearing as a love-interest to Friday Night Lights? Taylor Kitsch in another HBO project, A Normal Heart, which is being directed by Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By froggyliver · Posted

      I like mesh chairs like this, but not being able to lock in the back would make it not work for me. Also, I don't like arm rests at all. Can you not install them and the chair still work? Any recommendations on alternative chairs?

      As before, my notes are in your quoted section. To be clear, you started posting racist, fascist nonsense. And I always challenge lies and the liars that peddle them. Why? Because the truth matters.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
