Big E has landed an acting role.

He has been cast as a “guest star” in the upcoming Peacock comedy series, “Laid.”

Stephanie Hsu, who received an Oscar nomination for her role in Everything Everywhere All At Once, is an executive producer on the project. She will also lead a cast that includes Zosia Mamet (The Flight Attendant), Michael Angarano (Oppenheimer), and Tommy Martinez (Good Trouble).

Nahnatchka Khan will serve as an executive producer and writer on the project as well. She worked on Peacock’s “Young Rock” series from 2021 to 2023 and is the sister of WWE president, Nick Khan. She has written for shows such as American Dad, Fresh off the Boat, and Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23. Khan also directed Ali Wong’s 2022 comedy special, “Don Wong.”

Seven other guest stars were announced for the series on Wednesday, according to Deadline. They include SNL’s Chloe Fineman, The Office’s David Denman, singer/songwriter Finneas O’Connell, actor/model Indya Moore, comedian John Early, singer/actress Olivia Holt, and Andre Hyland of HBO’s Barry.

Big E is being represented by Buchwald and Bad Toro management.

“Laid” tells the story of a woman who discovers all of her past lovers are dying in unusual ways. It was described to Deadline as, “a f*cked-up rom-com where the answer to ‘Why can’t I find love, is there something wrong with me?’ is a resounding: ‘Yes, there is. The problem is definitely you.” It is based on a 2011 Australian series of the same name.
