Jay Ellis Joins The Cast Of Mindy Kaling’s Basketball ‘Running Point’ Starring Kate Hudson
Jay Ellis is rounding out the cast of Mindy Kaling’s Netflix basketball comedy series, Running Point, which stars Kate Hudson.
Here’s the description:
When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon (Hudson) is appointed President of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business. Ambitious and often overlooked, Isla will have to prove to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job, especially in the unpredictable, male-dominated world of sports.
Ellis will portray the recurring role of Jay Brown, a former celebrated basketball player-turned-head coach who has led his team to multiple championships.
