PARAMOUNT+'s JONBENÉT RAMSEY
Margo Martindale will guest star in the upcoming limited series starring Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen. She has received six Emmy Award nominations - winning three times for her roles on FX's Justified and FX's The Americans.
She will play Nedra, Patsy's (McCarthy) mother. She is tough, blunt, outspoken and unafraid to speak her mind.
PARAMOUNT+'s CRUTCH
Adrian Martinez, Braxton Paul and Finn Maloney have landed recurring roles on the upcoming spinoff of CBS' The Neighborhood starring Tracy Morgan. Martinez previously starred in NBC's one-season drama The Blacklist: Redemption and in ABC's one-season drama Stumptown. Paul and Maloney are relative newcomers.
Martinez will play Flaco, Crutch's (Morgan) childhood best friend, most loyal confidant and general manager of Crutch's flooring shop. Fun-loving, optimistic and chatty, he is the yin to Crutch's yang.
Paul and Maloney will play Lisa and Mase, Jamilah's (Adrianna Mitchell) kids and Crutch's grandchildren. The 12-year-old Lisa is the conscience of the family who challenges her relatives to do the right thing - but is also 12 and thus has some preteen angst. The 9-year-old Mase is curious and crafty while serving as the default wingman for whomever is supposed to be watching him.
