Caan calls the shots in Lifetime's 'Wisegal'
James Caan, who played mobster Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, has been bumped up to family don.
The actor has joined the cast of Lifetime's original movie Wisegal opposite Alyssa Milano and Jason Gedrick.
Meanwhile, Annie Potts has signed on to co-star opposite Nikki Blonsky in another Lifetime original movie, Queen Sized, which marks Potts' first project for the network since her drama series Any Day Now wrapped its run in 2002.
Wisegal, inspired by the true story of Patty Montanari, centers on a woman (Milano) who becomes a trusted confidante to the Mafia only to confront the heartbreaking reality that her romance with the captain (Gedrick) of a Brooklyn crime family has put her children in jeopardy.
Caan will play a mob boss, impressed with Patty's moxie, who persuades her to work for the organization -- at great personal risk -- as a courier transporting millions of dollars from Canada into the U.S.
Jerry Ciccoritti is directing from a script by Shelley Evans. The movie is executive produced by Daniel H.
