Ramy Youssef, Actor and Comedian.
Ramy Youssef, Steve Way, and Jon Braylock, collaborators on the Peabody Award and Golden Globe-winning Hulu comedy 'Ramy,' are set to reteam on a new project. The untitled film, produced by Inevitable Studios and Give Not Take Media, will feature a body swap comedy with a unique twist.
The story revolves around a man with muscular dystrophy, played by Steve Way, who swaps bodies with his burly caregiver. Way, who has been speaking publicly about his experience with muscular dystrophy since the age of 10, has been a vocal advocate for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Ramy Youssef, who starred opposite Way in 'Ramy,' will produce the film through his Cairo Cowboy production company. The trio have been longtime collaborators and friends, having worked together on 'Ramy' and other projects.
While the film's director and the actor playing Way's caregiver have yet to be announced, the project marks a significant step for Youssef and Way, who have been friends since middle school and grew up together in New Jersey.
Way's recent work includes his role in Hulu's 'Furious,' one of his first projects booked without the support of Youssef, showcasing his growing independence as an actor.
Ramy Youssef is represented by WME, Entertainment 360, Yorn Levine, and Narrative, and the project is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the body swap comedy genre.
