Jayson Blair has joined the cast of Kat Dennings’ Hulu comedy series “Dollface” in a recurring role. He will play Liam, a new love interest for Izzy (Esther Povitsky), who, for the “Dollface” uninitiated, is a friend and co-worker of Dennings’ main character Jules.
The show centers on a young woman who is dumped by her longtime boyfriend. She then tries to rekindle long-forgotten female friendships, ignored in favor of spending time with her ex, amid a battle with her own imagination. Dennings is best known for her work on the “Thor” franchise, the Disney Plus series “WandaVision” and the long-running CBS sitcom “Two Broke Girls.”
