Omar J. Dorsey, Andrea Anders, Vanessa Ferlito and Jorge Garcia are set as series regulars opposite Sebastian Maniscalco in HBO Max’s original comedy series How To Be A Bookie, from The Big Bang Theory co-creator-exec producer Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. Television.
Co-written by Lorre and Nick Bakay, in How To Be A Bookie, veteran bookie Danny (Maniscalco) struggles to survive the impending legalization of sports gambling, increasingly unstable clients, family, co-workers, and a lifestyle that bounces him around every corner of Los Angeles, high and low.
Dorsey plays Ray, Danny’s partner in their LA-based bookie business. Ray is as imposing as he is complicated.
