Aya Cash Joins Allison Janney in NBC's 'Friday Night Dinner'

According to Deadline.com, Aya Cash along with Kevin Bigley and Gil Ozeri will join the previously cast Allison Janney and Tony Shalhoub in the new NBC pilot 'Friday Night Dinner'. Greg Daniels' pilot is based on the UK comedy of the same name.

'Friday Night Dinner' "centers on a quirky family that has dinner together every Friday night." Bigley and Ozeri will play Paul and Gary, the sons of Gene and Barbara (played by Shalhoub and Janney), and Cash will play their cousin.

Aya Cash has been previously seen Off-Broadway in Happy Hour, The Other Place, Offices, Three Changes, From Up Here, and The Pain and the Itch.

In 1998, Janney was nominated for a Tony Award for her role in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge. Her first Broadway role was in Present Laughter opposite Frank Langella. In May 2009, she won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical for the role of Violet Newstead in 9 to 5.
