Producer Tommy Reid wanted to incorporate his experience growing up in Irish/Italian North New Jersey with his research into the real life characters of The Irishman. It’s been a long 12 years for Reid, bringing this film into fruition, but with a stellar cast and crew, The Irishman has the potential to be one of the epic gangster movies of our time. Ray Stevenson brings to life the exact qualities of Danny Greene’s robin-hood-type persona and the creative vision of Jonathan Hensleigh has united everyone’s efforts in a way only he can.

The Irishman Synopsis
The Irishman chronicles the rise and fall of infamous Cleveland gangster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), who engaged in a power struggle with the Italian mob. Greene was as an upstart longshoreman union rep and later became a cocky, legendarily difficult-to-kill troublemaker in the world of organized crime in the 1970s.
Based on the real story of mobster Danny Greene, Christoper Walken will play the loan shark and nightclub owner Shondor Birns and Val Kilmer is a Cleveland police detective who befriends Greene.
The incredible ensemble cast includes Vinnie Jones, Marcus Thomas, Linda Cardellini, Laura Ramsey, Paul Sorvino, Mike Starr, Tony LoBianco, Vinnie Vella, Steve Schirippa, Jason Butler Harner, Robert Davi and Fionnula Flanagan.
