“Modern Family” and “Married ... With Children” star Ed O’Neill will play the disgraced former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling, in the FX limited series “The Sterling Affairs,” according to a report from Nellie Andreeva of Deadline on Thursday.
O’Neill joins a cast already headlined by Laurence Fishburne and Jacki Weaver, both of whom were cast in early April. Fishburne will play former Clippers head coach Doc Rivers and Weaver will play Sterling’s ex- wife, Shelly Sterling.
“The Sterling Affairs” is based on the reporting Ramona Shelburne did for the ESPN “30 for 30” podcast she hosted of the same name.
