Pam & Tommy: Fred Hechinger Joins Lily James/Sebastian Stan Series

So the last time we checked in with Lily James (as Baywatch star Pamela Anderson) and Sebastian Stan (as Mötley Crüe band member Tommy Lee) as production on Hulu's upcoming Pam & Tommy rolled along, James was checking in with another look at her turn as Anderson. Between the images we've seen and what editor Tatiana S. Riegel (Cruella) & director Craig Gillespie (Cruella) had to say about the project, the limited event series has quickly jumped to the top of our pop culture radars. Now we're learning who else will be joining them on this streaming adventure, with Deadline Hollywood reporting exclusively that Fred Hechinger (The Woman in the Window, Fear Street) has joined the cast in a recurring role. Hechinger has been tapped to play Seth Warshavsky, a classic Silicon Valley "wunderkind" who can best be described as having the moral capacity of a used car salesman.

Joining James and Stan are Seth Rogen as Rand Gauthier, the man who stole the tape; Nick Offerman as Uncle Miltie, the man who helped distribute the sex tape; Taylor Schilling as Erica Gauthier, Pepi Sonuga as Melanie, Andrew Dice Clay as Butchie, Spenser Granese as Steve Fasanella, and Mozhan Marnò as Gail Chwatsky. Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, and Alex McAtee executive produce via Point Grey; as do Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle, and Ali Krug via Annapurna; Chip Vucelich, Sarah Gubbins, Dave Franco, and Dylan Sellers. The eight-episode series is helmed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) and written by Rob Siegel and DV DeVincentis, and tells the true story of how the first-ever viral video came to be: Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's sex tape. Now here's a look at Rogen sharing his timely fashion sense:

Though many will focus on the couple's infamous leaked sex tape and the national conversation it created over celebrity and privacy (as well as Tommy Lee's muti-tasking abilities when it comes to piloting a boat), the series will begin with Anderson and Lee's 96-hour "courtship" in 1995 that resulted in the two getting married. While there are still unanswered questions surrounding how the tape was obtained, Anderson would go on to sure video distribution company Internet Entertainment Group (IEG). The matter would be settled via a confidential agreement, with IEG returning to making the video available through its website. Though reports are that both Anderson and Lee are aware of Pam & Tommy being in development since earlier this year, neither are currently involved.
