Brett Goldstein (Uncle) is set as a series regular in NBC’s space-travel comedy pilot Spaced Out, from the Undateable duo of creator/executive producer Adam Sztykiel and executive producer Bill Lawrence.

Sztykiel executive produces with Doozer’s Lawrence and Jeff Ingold. Goldstein will play Leon Ness, the brilliant, eccentric and unpredictable founder of Space One — a man who dreams big and never gives up. The actor is repped by CAA, Mosaic. Hansen Jacobsen and Troika in the UK.
