The Hulu half-hour comedy series Chad Powers has added Clayne Crawford (The Finestkind), Xavier Mills (Poker Face), Colton Ryan (Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire) and Toby Huss (Fatal Attraction) to its recurring cast.

In the series, when bad behavior nukes hotshot QB Russ Holliday’s college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers.
Chad Powers is based on an Eli Manning sketch that aired on ESPN+. Glenn Powell and Michael Waldron co-created the series, co-wrote the pilot and executive produce for Barnstorm Productions and Anomaly Pictures, respectively. Adam Fasullo also EPs for Anomaly Pictures. Eli Manning executive produces along with Omaha Productions’ Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown and ESPN.
