In “Deli Boys,” which premieres March 6 on Hulu, Diaz guest stars as Chacho, a legendary assassin sent by the Peruvian Cartel, while Elliott guest stars as Sergeant Testicola, a salty Philly cop. Black-D’Elia will play Gigi Lozano, the feisty daughter of mob boss Chickie Lozano (Kevin Corrigan), per the character descriptions.
