Paul Reiser has been cast in Amazon Studios’ comedy pilot Red Oaks, exec produced by Steven Soderbergh and exec produced/directed by David Gordon Green. Set in summer 1985, Red Oaks centers on 20-year-old David Myers, who takes a job as an assistant tennis pro at the predominantly Jewish Red Oaks country club in New Jersey and tries to figure out what kind of life he wants to lead. Reiser – who is repped by Gersh, New Wave and Jeff Finkelstein – plays Getty, the wealthy and incredibly snobbish president of the club’s board. He recently wrapped production in Blumhouse’s 6 Miranda Drive, has two Sundance movies, Whiplash, which also screened in Cannes, and Life After Beth, and is in talks for Beg the Devil. In TV, he will recur on new FX comedy series Married.

Smash alum Raza Jaffrey has joined Showtime drama Homeland in a major recurring role for the upcoming fourth season, which is set in the Middle East. He will play Aasar Khan, a decorated Lieutenant Colonel working for Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service. He is repped by Gotham, Principal and United in London.
