Newcomer Peter Mark Kendall and young filmmaker Desiree Akhavan have been added to the fourth season of HBO comedy "Girls" as recurring. I hear they will play fellow students in the writing program Hannah (Lena Dunham) attends.
Iranian-American Akhavan shares the same filmmaker-actress pedigree as "Girls" creator and star Dunham. She directed and stars in her debut feature Appropriate Behavior, which premiered at Sundance, with an acquisition deal pending.
Akhavan also is the co-creator and star of web comedy series "The Slope" and is in production on "The Origin of Shame", an animated series for Judy McGrath’s site Astronauts Wanted.
She recently signed with UTA.
Since graduating last year, Kendall has landed a guest starring role on another HBO series, the upcoming "The Leftovers", a potentially recurring role in the TNT pilot "Public Morals" and a featured role in the film Time Out of Mind.
