“Boardwalk Empire” star Bobby Cannavale has been cast alongside Jamie Foxx in Sony’s musical “Annie,” TheWrap has learned.
Cannavale is one of my favorite character actors and he seems to be having a moment thanks to his turn as Gyp Rosetti on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire,” as well as a prominent role on the most recent season of Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie.” Cannavale has always been an actor who makes interesting choices, from his charming turns in Tom McCarthy’s “The Station Agent” and “Win Win” to his winning work in Woody Allen‘s “Blue Jasmine.”
He’ll play Guy, a bulldog political consultant to Foxx’s character as he runs for mayor of New York.
