Matt Bomer on How ‘Mid-Century Modern’ Pays Tribute to Linda Lavin and Working with ‘Icons’ Nathan Lane and Nathan Lee Graham


Matt Bomer, Nathan Lane, Nathan Lee Graham and 'Mid-Century Modern' creators Max Mutchnick & David Kohan reflect on working with the late Linda Lavin.

The 10-episode comedy launches on March 28, and the cast and crew uniformly herald it as a revival of classic sitcoms like Mutchnick and Kohan’s previous hit “Will & Grace” or “Alice,” the long-running show starring the late Linda Lavin, who they recruited for the new series. A roster of impressive guest stars grace the first season, including Billie Lourd, Cheri Oteri and Richard Kind, who were equally thrilled to join a new, yet old-fashioned comedy. Working with seasoned veterans was also a thrill for Frenchman Renan Pacheco, who scored his first major American role playing Lane’s love interest in the pilot.
