Jared Kusnitz goes from High School in Disney’s 2011 “Prom” to College Graduate in MTV’s new show ‘UNDEREMPLOYED”. Jared with his boyish looks who could still pull off a high schooler, slicks his hair back in the new series for a more mature look.

Suprises are in store to see his role on the show.

On August 3: (L-R) Michelle Ang, Jared Kusnitz and Sarah Habel of MTV’s “Underemployed” attend the Viacom Media Networks portion of the 2012 Summer TCA Press Tour at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 3, 2012 in Beverly Hills, California.

. “Underemployed” is a one-hour drama that focuses on how the current economic crisis has affected a group of 20-something college grads.  It will be debuting on Tuesday, October 16th at 10:00 for its 12-episode first season.
This MTV dramedy follows the five friends — Jared Kusnitz, Inbar Lavi, Michelle Ang, Sarah Habel and Diego Boneta — who, after one year out of college, struggle to tackle the real world. They attempt to stay optimistic through their major life changes, including taking on dead-end jobs, terrible bosses and romantic mistakes. Sound familiar? Executive producer Craig Wright recognizes the comparisons to HBO’s Girls, but notes that he himself is not the voice of this generation, especially since it’s based on his 23-year-old son. “I’m someone who’s interested in listening to the voices of this generation,” he said.
