As we reported a week ago, it seems that it’s true; actress Vivica Foxx has joined the new comedy from Byron Allen titled Mr. Box Office.
According to reps associated with Foxx, they confirmed her hiring for the new sitcom and stated that an official word should be released later this week from Entertainment Studios.
As we stated, Foxx will be joined by comedian and actor Bill Bellamy in the lead roles. They also will be joined by actress Keisha Knight Pulliam (of The Cosby Show), Jon Lovitz, and EX-NBA Star Rick Fox. Comedians Tony Roberts, Jeff Garcia and Alex Thomas also are on board with veteran actors Tim Meadows, Gary Busey and Clifton Davis. As of this writing there have been more hirings for the sitcom and as we find out we will fill in the blanks.
It should be noted that when we spoke to Entertainment Studios directly about the new castings, that was neither confirmed nor denied.
Mr. Box Office has an order of 104 episodes launching in prime time beginning in the fall, and we hear that it may be TBS on Byron Allen;s Comedy.TV channel- or both. So far, no word on that either.
