EXCLUSIVE: François Arnaud (Heated Rivalry) has joined the cast of the upcoming Hulu limited series Count My Lies in a recurring role. Arnaud will work closely alongside Lindsay Lohan’s character, Violet, as her friend Danny.

In Count My Lies, from Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, when compulsive liar Sloane (Shailene Woodley) fibs her way into a nanny position for the gorgeous and charismatic Violet (Lindsay Lohan) and Jay Lockhart (Kit Harington), it seems she’s finally landed her dream job.
