Bold And The Beautiful News: Pierson Fode Lands Hot New Primetime Job

The Bold and the Beautiful’s ex-Thomas Forrester, Pierson Fode, has been cast in a leading role in Glamorous, The CW’s new pilot. Directed by Eva Longoria and executive produce by Michael Rauch, the drama stars Ben J. Pierce and Brooke Shields.

Glamorous revolves around the story of Pierce’s character Marco. He’s a “gender non-conforming recent high school graduate who uses makeup and fashion to let his queer self bloom,” according to Deadline.

His life takes a turn when he receives an internship from a cosmetics company he bashed on YouTube for its shoddy products. He will be working with its founder and CEO, Madolyn, played by Brooke Shields.

Bold And The Beautiful – Fode Plays An Openly Gay Alpha Male

Fode, meanwhile, will play alpha male Chad, the son of the cosmetics company’s CEO. He works at the company and acts as its heir apparent. Chad is openly gay, but his wardrobe would fit Wall Street rather than the beauty industry.

“The secret is out! I couldn’t be more happy to finally announce what I’m working on!” Fode wrote on Twitter. He also said he is excited to work with Pierce.

Glamorous is written by Jordon Nardino who is also an executive producer. Damon Wayans Jr. and Kameron Tarlow of Wayans’ Two Shakes Entertainment are co-executive producers and CBS TV Studios is the studio.

Fode recently appeared in The Real Bros of Simi Valley and in Hit the Floor in 2018. He also has an upcoming feature titled It’s Time.
