NEW YORK, April 12 (UPI) -- Another Simple Favor and Martin Scorsese: The Saints actor Lorenzo de Moor says it was easy to say "yes" to starring in the new rom-com, You, Me & Tuscany, alongside Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page.
"This movie takes place where I grew up. It was a no brainer," the Dutch-Italian actor told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"I read the script and I thought: 'I know exactly who this character is. I see my friends in him. I see parts of myself in him. I know this family,'" de Moor recalled.
"When I sent in a tape to the casting director, I thought, 'I'm going to send in a little extra one.' And I was visiting my mom at the time. I was in the Tuscan hills and I did a little tape with the hills behind me saying, 'This is where I come from.'"
Obviously, that tactic proved irresistible, landing de Moor the coveted role of Matteo in the movie, which opened in theaters this weekend.
