Interesting casting choice. I've always found Lerman to be a bit underrated as an actor. Hope this gives him the spotlight he deserves.

The cast keeps getting better and better! Though I hope they don't overcrowd it with too many guest stars - the core trio's chemistry is what makes the show special.

Logan was phenomenal in We Were the Lucky Ones. If he brings that level of performance to OMITB, we're in for a treat!

Not sure about this casting. Love the show but Lerman's acting style might be too subtle for the show's comedic tone. Hope I'm wrong though!
