“Emerald City” star Vincent D’Onofrio was so excited by a certain aspect of the NBC limited series that he signed on to the show without even reading the script.
And the reason for his enthusiasm? The chance to work once again with series director Tarsem Singh.
“It’s the only reason really,” D’Onofrio told TheWrap. “I was doing ‘Magnificent Seven’ and I heard that he was shooting this and I asked if they had cast The Wizard yet and when they said ‘No.’ I said, ‘Tell Tarsem I want to do it.’ I hadn’t read the script but just the idea of Tarsem directing drew me to it.”
