Rogan plays Rand, the man who stole the tape; Offerman plays porn impresario Uncle Miltie, who helped him distribute it.

Schilling, a fractional series regular, will play Erica, Rand’s wife — at least on paper. Erica is a porn star on her own terms, with emotional and intellectual intelligence that Rand cannot quite fathom. Although she’s moved on long ago, she still holds a place in her life for Rand … as long as he behaves.

Granese will play Steve Fasanella, a mulleted, low-IQ individual who works for Uncle Miltie at Ingley Studios. In his loose morals and underachieving, he’s not unlike Rand himself, minus the unreasonable goals.

Marnò plays Gail Chwatsky, an absolute powerhouse of a publicist. Gail knows what it’ll take to elevate Pamela Anderson’s career. Although she’s strictly business, there’s a side to Gail that genuinely cares for Pamela’s well-being.

The series’ recurring cast also includes Andrew Dice Clay and Pepi Sonuga.
