Eva Longoria personally invited her friend Brooks Nader to audition for a key part in the upcoming Netflix film 'The Fifth Wheel.' Nader impressed during the process and secured the role, joining co-stars including Kim Kardashian. Filming is underway in Pasadena with a cast focused on female-driven stories.
Eva Longoria, serving as a producer on Netflix's comedy 'The Fifth Wheel,' reached out to her longtime friend Brooks Nader to join the project. The two have known each other for several years, and Longoria saw Nader as a good match for the ensemble cast.
According to production insiders, Nader underwent a standard audition like other actors. She performed well and was cast in a substantial role featuring multiple speaking scenes, rather than a brief appearance. On Wednesday, Nader was spotted on set in Pasadena, an Los Angeles suburb, where filming continues this week alongside Kim Kardashian, Nikki Glaser, and Brenda Song.
The story centers on a group of high school friends who plan a reunion trip to Las Vegas. Their plans unravel when an attractive newcomer, portrayed by Kardashian, disrupts the getaway and exposes tensions in their relationships. Nader and Kardashian maintain a friendly connection through shared acquaintances and recently attended Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve gathering in Aspen together.
Nader has shown increasing interest in acting and scripted television or film work, suggesting more appearances in such projects ahead.
