It could be considered misleading by posting the names of actors we'd like to have in the roles. In our pitch deck we do show an extensive cast wish list. When casting does lock in we'll post their names and photos here. We are pleased that Lin Tucci (Orange is the New Black) has self-attached for the role of Rosa Brugadsignori, the cigar smoking matriarch of the Italian family. Vincent Pastore, best known for his work on The Sopranos has self-attached for a supporting lead role of one of the Brugadsignori brothers. Gus Rosendale, an NBC-NY TV news reporter will play himself. Both Lin and Gus participated in readings in Manhattan. On the following pages are breakdowns of the speaking roles.

Tony Beans and Tony Donuts (40's): Supporting Leads: Two-heavy set stereotypical Mob types, but not very bright. They can switch from being dumb and sweet to menacing without warning. In a best case, they'd be twins.
30's: Supporting Lead: Jimmy's cubicle mate and best friend. More of a slacker than geek, into electronic gadgets. Although he is of Mid-Eastern decent, everybody calls him Jack.

The very, very tall and tough driver for the Brugadsignoris; dresses like Klinger of M*A*S*H, which nobody seems to notice or care.
