The Warriors star will play himself in the show.
Basketball has come so easy to Stephen Curry that he is apparently taking his talents to a new challenge: television. Deadline’s Peter White reports that Curry will co-star in a new NBC comedy show titled Mr. Throwback alongside actor Adam Pally.
According to the report, the series will be about a sports memorabilia dealer who reunites with Curry, his sixth-grade basketball teammate. Curry, of course, will play himself, while Pally will likely play the memorabilia dealer, and the show will be in a mockumentary style.
“Making the natural transition from behind the camera to center stage opposite Adam Pally, we can’t wait for the world to see what we have in store,” Curry said, via Deadline.
Curry had a brief experience with acting, guest-starring as himself on an episode of HBO’s Ballers in 2015. Otherwise, his experiences on television have either been as a voice actor on cartoons or in reality shows.
NBC is known for its success airing mockumentary-style comedies, as both The Office and Parks and Recreation aired on the network.
