Kenyan Actor, Gathegi in New American TV Series

You may know him as Dr. Jeffrey Cole (a.k.a. ‘Big Love’) on the hit American TV series House, or you may call him Darwin from the 2011 American super hero film, X-Men: First Class. Whichever way, his name is Edi Gathegi, a Kenyan-American film, stage and television actor, and his star is just about to get even brighter.

The Twilight and Twilight Saga: New Moon actor has just landed another new role, starring in ABC’s upcoming comedy series, White Van Man.

The series centers around co-star Kyle Bornheimer (you may know him from the other popular TV series Worst Week) who plays Jack, a man forced to put his dreams on hold in order to run the family business.

Gathegi will feature as Darren, Jack’s dodgy assistant.

White Van Man was originally a British sitcom series released in March 2011, and received the highest ever rating of a sitcom on BBC3 in the UK. The American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is currently working on a US remake that should pilot soon.
