Imperioliwill star as Dutch, an accomplished Italian chef who owns a restaurant in the Bronx, a stalwart establishment that is also a front for Dutch’s less sociable activities, such as running a criminal enterprise. As ruthless and mercurial as he is affable, Dutch is Angelo’s oldest friend, as well as his employer — he gives Angelo the targets for his hits. In a business as dangerous as theirs, Angelo must trust Dutch. But being trustworthy isn’t one of Dutch’s more dependable qualities.
Eyed for a midseason launch on Fox, Memory of a Killer is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment. Whitmore and Malone executive produce alongside Cathy Schulman of Welle Entertainment. Arthur Sarkissian and Martin Campbell are also executive producers, along with Peter Bouckaert of Eyeworks.
Imperioli played the rising mob associate-to-captain Christopher Moltisanti on HBO’s The Soprano, which won him an Emmy Award for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. His upcoming film credits include The Housewife, opposite Naomi Watts, and Song Sung Blue, starring alongside Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson for director Craig Brewer. The actor is repped by Gersh and Anonymous Content.
