Fire Island star Zane Phillips cast as Kim Cattrall’s son in Netflix’s LGBTQ+ series Glamorous
Zane Phillips has been cast as a series regular in Netflix’s upcoming LGBTQ+ drama Glamorous. According to Deadline, the actor will star alongside Miss Benny (Love, Victor), Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City), Jade Payton (Dynasty), Michael Hsu (Pretty Smart), Ayesha Harris (Daisy Jones and the Six) and Graham Parkhurst (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds).
Originally developed as a pilot for The CW, Glamorous follows Marco Mejia (Miss Benny), a gender non-conforming queer person who lands a job at a cosmetics company, led by the “legendary makeup mogul” Madolyn Addison (Cattrall).
Deadline states: “It’s Marco’s first chance to figure out what he wants out of life, who he actually is and what it really means for him to be queer.” Phillips will play Chad, the “devoted son to Madolyn and the Director of Sales for her beauty empire, who is caught in a never-ending quest to live up to his mother’s expectations.” Payton has been cast as Venetia, Madolyn’s “ambitious and chic” first assistant who becomes an ally to Marco, “showing him not only how to navigate the office, but queer Brooklyn nightlife as well”.
Rosen is Ben, a graphic designer at Glamorous who is “inspired to stumble out of his comfort zone” after meeting Marco. Harris also plays a graphic designer called Brit, while Parkhurst will embody a “confident, self-proclaimed jock” named Parker who “symbolises unobtainable gay cis-male perfection”.
