‘The Roman’ TV Series Cast Adds Five

Vincent D’Onofrio (Daredevil: Born Again), Kate Mara (A Teacher), Clancy Brown (I Will Find You), Thomas Sadoski (The Newsroom) and Jason Schwartzman (Mountainhead) have signed on for roles in The Roman, Netflix‘s Vegas drama series exec produced by and starring Oscar Isaac.

The actors join a cast that also includes Betty Gilpin, Alec Baldwin, David Costabile, Shalom Brune-Franklin and Jimmy O. Yang.

Created by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Billions, Super Pumped), who also serve as showrunners and exec produce, The Roman is an hour-long drama set in the high-stakes, sharp-elbowed present-day Las Vegas casino business, which is a modernized but still dangerous version of the legendary city. At the center of which stands Robert “Bobby Red” Redman (Isaac), president of the hottest hotel casino in town, who has to make some long odds moves to try and secure his position and take more ground.

A series regular, D’Onofrio will play Dominic Ward. A powerful MMA mogul, Ward uses his “knockout power” to manipulate the casino bosses vying for his massive live events.

Mara will play the series regular role of Holly Reeve. A sultry and highly educated entrepreneur who runs the city’s most exclusive and discreet empire, Holly shares a deep, complicated history with Bobby.

Both Brown and Sadoski are set to recur. Brown plays Elwood, a weathered and imposing figure with deep ties to the desert landscape. Elwood is a man of few words and significant actions who knows exactly where the city’s literal and metaphorical bodies are buried. Sadoski plays Chef Luca, a brilliant but self-destructive superstar chef whose personal entanglements and rock-star antics threaten to derail his high-end restaurant residency at The Roman.

Schwartzman will guest star as David Krupp, a clean-cut heir and “freshwater fish” whose mounting casino debts thrust him into the high-pressure crosshairs of the Las Vegas elite.

Isaac is exec producing The Roman alongside Koppelman and Levien, Martin Scorsese and Sikelia Productions, Julie Yorn and Rick Yorn for Expanded Media, Paul Schiff and Beth Schacter. JC Chandor is also exec producing and directing the first two episodes, with Kerry Orent aboard as co-EP.

D’Onofrio is repped by UTA, 734 Media, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller; Mara by CAA, Untitled Entertainment, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern; Brown by CAA and Pop Art Management; Sadoski by Verve, Amplified, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole; and Schwartzman by UTA, Ocean Avenue, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
