Mandy Moore, a household name among television viewers thanks to her starring role in NBC's acclaimed series "This Is Us," has embarked on a comedic journey in "The Breadwinner," alongside renowned comedian Nate Bargatze. Directed by Eric Appel for TriStar Pictures, this feature film promises laughter and heartwarming moments.
Joining them in the cast are the rising talents Stella Grace Fitzgerald ("Rebel Moon"), Birdie Borria ("The Fabelmans"), and Charlotte Ann Tucker (upcoming "Thunderbolts*"), who will portray the on-screen daughters of the lead couple. Bargatze, a globe-trotting comedy sensation, has co-penned the script and is producing the film alongside Dan Lagna. Jeremy Latcham, a former Marvel Studios executive, is also producing under the banner of Wonder Project.
The narrative of "The Breadwinner" takes a hilarious yet poignant turn when Bargatze's character finds his world turned upside down. His supermom wife, masterfully played by Moore, lands a lucrative deal on the hit show "Shark Tank." Suddenly, the lifelong patriarch of the family finds himself in unfamiliar territory as a stay-at-home dad, quickly realizing that domestic duties are far from a walk in the park.
Moore's six-season run as Rebecca Pearson in "This Is Us" garnered her multiple Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics' Choice nominations, solidifying her status as a screen legend. More recently, she portrayed investigative journalist Benita Alexander in Peacock's "Dr. Death," alongside Édgar Ramírez. Her voice is also beloved by audiences as Rapunzel in Disney's "Tangled" and its numerous spin-offs across television and video games. Moore recently lent her vocal talents to the hit animated series "Happy Family USA" on Hulu, created by Ramy Youssef and Pam Brady. She is represented by Gersh, Untitled Entertainment, and Johnson Shapiro.
Fitzgerald is represented by Gersh and Luber Roklin Entertainment, while Borria is handled by DDO Artists Agency and Brave Artists. Tucker is represented by The Osbrink Agency and New Beginnings Entertainment.
With such a stellar cast and a promising storyline, "The Breadwinner" is set to deliver a heartfelt and humorous cinematic experience that will resonate with audiences worldwide.
