Bookie
Cast & Crew
Matt Roush says...
Chuck Lorre’s (Mom, Two and a Half Men) sardonic style is on bold display in this pungently dark comedy, co-created with Nick Bakay, about embattled L.A. bookie Danny Colavito (Sebastian Maniscalco), who takes bets from his car like a less successful version of The Lincoln Lawyer. The pilot episode (all that was made available for preview) introduces Danny on a hectic day of debt collecting that leaves him battered, bruised and possibly in deep legal jeopardy. Adding to his woes: the prospect of legalized sports gambling in California, which could bankrupt his business. The supporting cast includes Omar J. Dorsey as Ray, a former NFL player who accompanies him as muscle (“I’m mostly a visual deterrent”) and Lost’s Jorge Garcia as a former drug dealer—legalizing marijuana was his downfall—who becomes his fair-weather driver.
