Brandon Micheal Hall to Star in Untitled Mayoral ABC Comedy Pilot
Brandon Micheal Hall will star as Courtney Rose, a talented but struggling hip-hop artist who has been toiling away in obscurity for years. He performs at small, grassroots shows around town, but despite his best efforts, he can't seem to get any attention from radio stations and record labels. Yet he remains a quintessential optimist. When he's out and about in the neighborhood, everyone seems to come up and say hello.
