Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Tan France, the fashion maven from "Queer Eye" and "Next in Fashion," is set to try on a new look: Sitcom star.
Taking to Instagram Stories to make the announcement, an excited France shared "It's @hulu official.... I joined @deliboyshulu for my first acting role ever."
The sitcom he named – "Deli Boys" – revolves around two Pakistani-American brothers who are thrust into the daily complications of running the family business when their father dies suddenly. But there's more to it than just running the deli when it turns out to be the case that their dad was a major player in organized crime.
France has been cast in a guest role, Zubair, reported by Variety as being "a British Pakistani South London gang leader who is described as 'smart, intimidating and dressed to kill.'"
The reality star was in attendance at Sundance, where he joined others from the show to participate in a panel discussion of "Deli Boys." France didn't disappoint his fashion maven fans, pairing a sleek burgundy-and-navy jacket, white shirt, and tie reminiscent of English school uniforms with a pair of faded jeans.
"I cannot wait for you to see this INCREDIBLE show!" Tan exclaimed in his Instagram Stories post.
How eager are you to check out France's acting chops?
