Vincent D’Onofrio, Paul Sorvino Join “The Irishman”

According to several sources, Vincent D’Onofrio (Law & Order Criminal Intent - USA) and Paul Sorvino (Law & Order - NBC) have joined the cast of the film, “The Irishman” which got its inspiration from the book by Rick Porrell titled “To Kill The Irishman: The War That Crippled The Mafia.” The book was based on a story about a Cleveland, Ohio mobster named Danny Greene. Shooting is scheduled to begin in Detroit on May 19. (I think maybe Cleveland looks too nice now for a mob story to be credible?)

By the way, since I live in the Cleveland area, I can recall very clearly all the news stories of mob activity that went on here in the days of Danny Greene, and used to work within about a mile of the building where he was killed by a car bomb – in the “high rent” suburbs, no less. There were lots of mob bombings in the area in the late 1970s – many people do not realize what a hotbed of organized crime the area was in those days. It could make for an interesting movie.

Mariska Hargitay, Richard Belzer Attend White House Correspondents’ Dinner (AKA ‘Nerd Prom”)

Mariska Hargitay and Richard Belzer, both of Law & Order SVU, were in attendance at last night’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. The dinner is sometimes referred to as the ‘Nerd Prom” as it is a big night for Washington D.C. journalists. The dinner is always a hot ticket, but this year it pulled in a lot more entertainment celebrities than normal. I wonder why I wasn’t invited?

The New York Times reported that Richard Belzer “turned left and held court at the bar. “The difference is palpable,” Mr. Belzer said, who attended the dinner once before during the Bush years. “It just seems more glamorous. Now it’s rock-star, Kennedy elegance.” “Nothing wrong with being cool,” he added quickly.

Here are some pictures of The Belz, and Mariska and her husband Peter Hermann at the event.
