Glen Powell is iconic. He’s proving that movie stars aren’t a thing of the past, but rather they are current. Only he’s also reminding us that he’s just not an actor. He’s more – an actor, a writer, a heart throb. We’ll watch or listen to anything he does.
And yes, we said listen.
The actor has signed on for a scripted comedy set to debut on Audible, September 13th.
The comedy is called The Best Man’s Ghostwriter. It’s got an all star cast including the likes of Ashley Park, D’Arcy Carden, Lance Bass, Zach Braff, Lukas Gage, Alex Wolff, Debra Messing, George Takei, Jack McBrayer, Nicole Byer, Zach Cherry, Lennon Parham, Neil Flynn, Jason Mantzoukas, Ben Marshall, John Higgins, Martin Herlihy, Jonathan Van Ness, Sherri Shepherd, and more.
That voice cast is PHENOMENAL.
If you’re wondering what it’s about, “The Best Man’s Ghostwriter follows the story of Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself, Nate uses his list of Don’ts: don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out, the list goes on. Nate’s system never fails. That is until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun), the hopelessly awkward best man for a mega social influencer. On top of that, Nate needs to find a best man for his own wedding – forcing him to confront a brutal friendship breakup with his best friend. As Nate works with Dan, he explores the often idiotic world of male friendship and must come up with an answer to the one question most men never think about: why is their best friend their best friend?”
We’ll definitely be listening. How about you?
