Raymond Lee has been cast as a regular in an upcoming, untitled HBO series by “True Blood” creator Alan Ball.
The series, which has gathered a multi-racial cast also comprising Sosie Bacon, Daniel Zovatto, Jerrika Hinton and Holly Hunter, will be “a tragicomic meditation on the complicated forces at work on us all in America today,” according to Deadline.com.
“The untitled series focuses on a contemporary multi-racial family: a philosophy professor, his lawyer wife, their three adopted children from Somalia, Vietnam and Colombia, and their sole biological child. This seemingly perfect, progressive family is in actuality harboring deep rifts,” the show’s description reads.
Lee will play the Vietnamese adoptee, Duc, who grows into an ambitious, overachieving life coach with aims of being a motivational icon.
The actor has appeared in popular series like “Mozart In The Jungle,” “Modern Family” and “Scandal.”
Ball, an HBO vet who was also responsible for the network’s critically acclaimed “Six Feet Under,” signed a two-year deal with HBO last year.
