Shalom Brune-Franklin and Jimmy O. Yang are heading to Sin City.
The two are the latest additions to the cast of “The Roman,” Netflix’s Las Vegas-set drama series starring Oscar Isaac.
Brune-Franklin (“Dune: Prophecy,” “Sunny Dancer”) will play Jessica Christine “JC” Griffin, described as “an alert and ambitious rising star at the casino” and “a vital host and fixer, managing the whims of high rollers while harboring her own big plans for the future.”
Yang (“Finally Home,” “Interior Chinatown”) will play Rich Tzu, a sophisticated, Eton-educated executive who serves as a rival to Isaac’s Bobby.
“The Roman” is an eight-episode, hour-long drama set in present-day Las Vegas, a modernized but still dangerous version of the Strip. At the center of it all is Robert “Bobby Red” Redman (Isaac), the president of the hottest hotel casino in town. As his power is threatened, Bobby must make some long odds moves to secure his position and seize more control over Sin City.
