The Bold and the Beautiful alum Darin Brooks scored a new gig. This news just comes on the heels of his latest project. He’s staying busy and booked after his departure from the CBS soap.
From One Sports Comedy to Another
According to Deadline, Brooks will star in a new sports comedy called The Roaring Game. The cast also includes Antwon Tanner (One Tree Hill), Eddie Kaye Thomas (American Pie), Fivel Stewart (The Recruit), and Justin Chatwin (Shameless).
Chad A. Verdi and his Verdi Productions produced the project. Tom DeNucci penned the screenplay. The comedy centers around a custodian who works at a high school. His girlfriend plays for Team USA and the World Games.
She leaves him while her career is on the rise. The heartbroken custodian brings out his inner athlete. He starts a curling team, relying on his janitorial skills to help him out. The team is filled with misfits who are less than athletic.
“We have assembled an elite team of comedic all-stars to bring this project to life. We are thrilled for audiences to see Rickey and the gang compete for the gold in the World Games next winter,” Verdi said. “With so much negativity in the world, I really wanted to tell a story that embraces the lighter side of life.”
Brooks just wrapped filming on Blue Mountain State. He took to social media to share behind-the-scenes shots from the new movie in the franchise. Brooks keeps scoring gigs in the sports comedy genre.
