EXCLUSIVE: Pierson Fodé has signed with Range Media Partners for representation.
He will next be seen in the Netflix thriller The Last Mrs. Parrish, opposite Jennifer Lopez, Isabel May, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Directed by Academy Award winner Robert Zemeckis, the film, which has wrapped production, is based on the 2017 national and international bestseller of the same name by Liv Constantine, the pen name of sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine.
Fodé is coming off two hit romantic comedies starting with Netflix’s romantic comedy The Wrong Paris opposite Miranda Cosgrove, which quickly shot to the #1 spot on Netflix. He also had Hulu’s Swiped alongside Lily James, who played Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd in the biographical drama, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. It reached Hulu’s #1 spot internationally.
He then capped off the year with Steve Carr’s holiday comedy A Merry Little Ex-Mas with Alicia Silverstone, Oliver Hudson, and Jameela Jamil, which debuted as the #2 most-watched English-language movie globally on Netflix.
Fodé’s breakout film role came in The Man From Toronto from Patrick Hughes, opposite Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson, which also rose to #1 on Netflix; while earlier this year, he was back on the festival circuit with the edgy romantic thriller Dope Queens, which premiered at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
He continues to be represented by CAA; Gang, Tyre, Ramer, Brown & Passman; and The Initiative Group.
