Domenick Lombardozzi (Boardwalk Empire) is set to star and Eva Amurri Martino (Californication) to co-star opposite Henry Winkler in ABC’s comedy pilot The Winklers, from Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal; Winkler’s son, director Max Winkler; and son-in-law, actor Rob Reinis. Based on Henry Winkler’s relationship with his son-in-law, Reinis, The Winkles centers on Jack (Lombardozzi), an emotionally reserved construction worker who learns about love, life and hugs while unexpectedly living with his in-laws — successful actor Henry (Winkler) and Tita Winkler. Martino will play Henry and Tita’s spoiled, somewhat controlling daughter Emily who is married to Jack. 20th TV is producing.

Whoa, that's a little too much for me. I know it's based on his life, but couldn't they have different last names? Or first names? Something needs to change here because it's kinda weirding me out.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Eva Amurri is pregnant, maybe they'll write that in the show.
ReplyDeleteEh, she'll probably give birth this summer so I doubt it. They might only have to hide it in the pilot.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I totally didn't take that in account.
