New York, NY (March 11, 2022) – Actor Ava Yaghmaie, will soon appear in a major recurring role in the FX for Hulu series Fleishman is in Trouble opposite Jesse Eisenberg, Lizzy Caplan, Adam Brody and Claire Danes.
A Persian-American actor, writer, and filmmaker, Ava recently graduated with her BFA in Acting from Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama. She is represented by CESD Talent Agency and Namoff & Co.
Fleishman Is in Trouble follows recently separated surgeon Toby Fleishman, as he enters the world of app-based dating and finds more success than he ever had the last time he was single. When his ex-wife, Rachel, disappears, he’s left with their kids and no hint of where she is or whether she plans to return. Balancing parenting, friends, a long-awaited promotion at the hospital and all the eligible women Manhattan has to offer, he realizes he’ll never be able to figure out what happened to Rachel until he can more honestly examine what happened to their marriage.
Ava Yaghmaie is set to play Joanie, one of Toby’s fellows at the hospital.
Author Taffy Brodesser-Akner will make her TV writing debut and adapt her book for FX on Hulu, the basic cable network’s streaming hub. Brodesser-Akner executive produces alongside Sarah Timberman, Carl Beverly, Susannah Grant, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, the latter two of whom will direct the first block of the series. Fleishman hails from ABC Signature.
