Antoni Porowski has been announced as a cast member for Spoiler Alert, an upcoming drama led by Jim Parsons. Directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick), the film will follow “the emotionally turbulent 11-month journey of [Michael] Ausiello’s former partner Kit, from his diagnosis with terminal cancer to his death.
Interwoven in the narrative are glimpses of the roller-coaster ride that was the couple’s 14-year romance.” The screenplay is based on Ausiello’s critically-acclaimed memoir Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Other Four-Letter Words.
It was recently confirmed that Queer Eye’s food and wine expert, as well as Tony Award winner Nikki M. James (The Book of Mormon), Jeffrey Self (Search Party) and Bill Irwin (Legion), will star alongside Parsons, Ben Aldridge (Fleabag) and Sally Field (Hello, My Name is Doris).
The Big Bang Theory alum will portray Ausiello, with Aldridge as Kit and Field as Kit’s mother. Spoiler Alert was written by Ausiello, David Marshall Grant (Smash) and activist/author Dan Savage.
