Meet Hollywood's hottest actor, Kyle West!

If you've never heard of him, it's because he's Hollywood's hottest and entirely fictional actor, and a character in E!'s newest scripted pilot, The Arrangement

E! News can confirm that Josh Henderson, most recently known for his role as John Ross Ewing on the Dallas reboot, has been cast as Kyle West, a guy "poised to become and A-list international movie star" as long as he can keep up appearances and keep his secrets from getting out. 

As if that one character description wasn't fun enough, The Arrangement is a sort of super twisted Cinderella story from Mad Men writer Jonathan Abrahams. It follows a young and beautiful actresss named Megan Morrison as she auditions for a summer blockbuster opposite heartthrob Kyle West. That audition turns into a dream-like first date, which then turns into a contract detailing Megan and Kyle's entire relationship, which Megan must decide whether or not to accept. 

First of all, that sounds like an amazing premise, full of all those deep and dirty Hollywood secrets that everyone always hopes are actually happening. And second of all, it's really too bad that Josh Henderson is just not attractive enough to convince us he's the new Chris Pratt or whoever the real-life Hollywood equivalent of Kyle West would be.

We joke. He's both hot and adorable, and this show sounds amazing. 

Plus, given the juicy success of E!'s first scripted show, The Royals, this is going to be good. 

The Arrangement pilot will shoot this fall.
