Washington DC, Feb. 10 -- Actor Rhys Darby is set for a lead role in the CBS comedy pilot "Regency," reported Variety.

The multi-cam comedy pilot was originally ordered back in December. The official logline describes it as "a historical spin on the classic multi-cam family sitcom, centred around the upper-middle class Tillbrooks as they navigate life, love, and scandal in 19th Century England," reported Variety.

Darby will star as Arthur Tillbrook, who is described as the "head of the family home, Hartford Park. Arthur is heir to a vast cheese empire but prefers to think of himself as a 'guy's guy.' He will go to great lengths to prove his masculinity, though his privileged upbringing reveals itself every time," as quoted by Variety. ...
