The Hollywood Reporter brings word that the upcoming Epix series Godfather of Harlem has cast Vincent D’Onofrio (Daredevil, Full Metal Jacket) in a key role.
D’Onofrio will play Vincent “Chin” Gigante, a former boxer who works his way up from enforcer to hitman to, eventually, the crime boss of the Genovese crime family.
D’Onofrio was just seen in director Eli Roth’s remake of Death Wish, and will star alongside Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawke in the Billy the Kid biopic The Kid, which D’Onofrio will also direct.
He’ll join Forest Whitaker (Black Panther, The Crying Game), who is playing fellow crime boss Bumpy Johnson.
