Actor Tuc Watkins has joined the cast of Brett Goldstein's upcoming Prime Video series "Escorted" in a heavily recurring role, according to sources close to the production cited by Deadline. The eight-episode romantic comedy follows a divorced Manhattan father who accidentally becomes a male escort, exploring themes of sexual dynamics, secrecy and whether genuine intimacy can be purchased. Watkins' casting adds to a growing ensemble for a series produced through Goldstein's overall deal with Warner Bros Television.

Watkins will play Neil, a cowboy-like character who works as a high-end personal trainer and moonlights as an escort to wealthy women. He joins previously announced cast members Lesley Manville and Leslie Bibb, alongside Goldstein, who stars, writes, executive produces and co-showruns the single-camera half-hour series with Brian Gallivan. Watkins is currently appearing in Hulu's "Paradise" and has a lengthy TV and film résumé including "Desperate Housewives", "The Other Two" and "The Mummy", with an upcoming role in Starz's "S.W.A.T. Exiles".
