The focus of About My Family should be rising star Sebastian Maniscalco who plays Robert De Niro’s son. But what gets me is David Rasche is part of the film. Over the last few years, Rasche is appearing in so many films and TV shows. He was essential to HBO’s Succession. Those of us from the ’80s remember him as the iconic Sledge Hammer in Sledge Hammer! The TV series had him as an out-of-control cop who thinks Dirty Harry didn’t go far enough. Now he’s working with De Niro after he watching the Roy kids go up in flames. What a great career. About My Father comes out on premium Video On Demand this Friday. Here’s the press release from Lionsgate with all the details:
On Premium Video on Demand June 16 from Lionsgate®
SANTA MONICA, CA (June 12, 2023) – Hailed as “the hottest comic in America” by The New York Times, Sebastian Maniscalco’s About My Father arrives on Premium Video on Demand June 16 from Lionsgate. Maniscalco both co-writes and stars in this hilarious comedy about relationships and what it means to be family. Robert De Niro (The Irishman) supports as an outspoken Italian father who joins a weekend getaway with his son’s fiancée’s (Leslie Bibb, Iron Man) family: Anders Holm (TV’s “Workaholics”), Brett Dier (TV’s “Jane the Virgin”), David Rasche (TV’s “Succession”), and Kim Cattrall (TV’s “Sex and the City”). Written by Austen Earl & Sebastian Maniscalco. Directed by Laura Terruso.
Generations collide in this hysterical comedy starring Sebastian Maniscalco and two-time Oscar® winner Robert De Niro (including Best Actor, Raging Bull, 1980). Sebastian (Maniscalco) is encouraged by his fiancée (Leslie Bibb) to bring his Italian hairdresser father Salvo (De Niro) to a weekend get-together to meet her wealthy and eccentric family (Anders Holm, David Rasche, Brett Dier, and Kim Cattrall). As the weekend turns into an outrageous clash of cultures, Sebastian and Salvo discover that the great thing about family is everything about family.
