Sopranos' Imperioli Gives Life on Mars a Try
Michael Imperioli by Eric Liebowitz/ABC
Casting/recasting news is beginning to trickle in as ABC tweaks its rumored-to-be-
in-trouble just
fine adaptation of the British series
Life on Mars.
Jason O'Mara is still the lead - and dagnabit, he better remain the lead! - but now Michael Imperioli has joined the cast.
The Sopranos' former Christofuh! will fill the role of Det. Ray Carling, a colleague of Sam's who is mysteriously transplanted from the present into 1972.
Imperioli's lawman is described as a rule-bending tough guy who, when the chips are down, is handy to have in your corner. He was played by Dean Andrews in the BBC edition. -
