The CW announced that Prince Maxon has been cast for the pilot of The Selection. Michael Malarkey will play the prince that every girl is fighting for.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Malarkey, an English actor, will take on the role of Prince Maxon, the charming, self-serving and untrustworthy son of the king and queen. He’s thrilled to have a group of young women competing for his affections and is intrigued by the feisty labor class girl America.
Malarkey was born in Beirut, Lebanaon but grew up in Ohio and resides in London, where he trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. The majority of Malarkey’s work has been in theater, including London productions of The Great Gatsby, Million Dollar Quartet and Arthur. On the TV side, his credits include the Irish drama Raw.
