As reported by Deadline, Epix’s wholly necessary TV adaptation of the film Get Shorty is now finalizing deals for its two stars. Assuming those deals work out, funny Irish guy Chris O’Dowd (Girls, Bridesmaids) will be succeeding John Travolta as the tough mob guy who tries to become a money-laundering Hollywood producer. He’ll be appearing alongside Ray Romano (Ice Age: Collision Course, Ice Age: Continental Drift), who is replacing Gene Hackman in the role of the washed-up producer working with O’Dowd’s character.
