Two-time Super Bowl winner Danny Amendola and 2020 NBA champion Dwight Howard are among those who fall into the first of those categories, while Anna Sorokin, a fraudster whose story was told in the 2022 Netflix miniseries ‘Inventing Anna’, will be trying to trick viewers into thinking she’s a professional dancer.
Eric Roberts, Emma’s dad and Julia’s sister, and ‘Beverly Hills 90210′s’ Tori Spelling represent the acting community. There will also be a significant TV crossover as Joey Graziadei and Jenn Tran, the most recent ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’, are also taking part.
