FOX's Accused and Going Dutch.






FOX's GOING DUTCH
  • Taylor Misiak, Danny Pudi, Laci Mosley, Hal Cumpston and Dempsey Bryk have joined the cast of the upcoming comedy starring Denis Leary. Misiak previously starred for three seasons in FXX's Dave. Pudi currently stars in AppleTV+'s Mythic Quest, which has been renewed for a fourth season. Mosley starred for three seasons in Paramount+'s iCarly. Cumpston starred for two seasons in AMC's The Walking Dead: World Beyond. Bryk starred in Disney+'s one-season drama Willow.
  • Misiak will play Captain Maggie Quinn, acting commanding officer of USAG in the Netherlands and the estranged daughter of Colonel Patrick Quinn (Leary). She is a kind and empathetic diplomat until her father is in the room, at which point she becomes as surly and caustic as an insult comic. Growing up in the shadow of her legendary father, Maggie has ambitions of her own including rising through the ranks of the military, becoming the first female President, and finally having one successful romantic relationship.
  • Pudi will play XO Major Abraham Shah, The Colonel's executive officer and codependent right-hand man. He takes his responsibility of supporting The Colonel very seriously, from executing battle plans to taking on The Colonel's unwanted emotional baggage. He is seemingly the most confident and competent soldier on the base, but under the surface something is starting to give. After twenty years of being attached to The Colonel's hip, he's starting to wonder where his boss ends and he begins. Sparked by his connection with Maggie, he's finally ready to start figuring out who he is outside of the military.
  • Mosley will play Sergeant Dana Conway, the cunning, crafty supply sergeant at the base and Maggie's best friend (though Maggie is not her best friend). She grew up in Yonkers, it was either the Cosmetology School or the Army but she couldn't handle the high stakes of cutting someone else's bangs. Coming from nothing, she's always had an entrepreneurial drive to get the most out of life. She has turned her service at the base into a European pansexual paradise surrounded by incredible food, art, and wine. For most soldiers, the base is a place to be banished to or escaped from. For her, it's home.
  • Cumpston will play Corporal Elias Papadakis. Technically a solider, he is the base's brilliant head of IT. He thinks the physical demands of being a soldier are a waste of his talents. He may be unable to mount a bicycle, but he can hack into any system. He has soft hands but thick skin, which makes him the perfect target for The Colonel who sees him as everything that's wrong with the military.
  • Bryk will play Private Anthony "BA" Chapman, a sweet baby himbo and a golden retriever of a solider. Excited by just about everything, he is ready to prove himself to The Colonel, and to anyone else who will give him a pat on the back. He is physically strong, but mentally weak and always cracks under pressure. BA stands for "Below Average," a nickname he received because he's scored that on every mental acuity test the army requires.
