“Marvel’s Agent Carter” has added Ken Marino to Season 2, Variety has learned exclusively.
The “Wet Hot American Summer” star will play mob boss Joseph Manfredi, a volatile leader in the Maggia crime syndicate who will help Peggy Carter’s (Hayley Atwell) adversaries further their agenda.
Marino’s recurring gig marks a reunion for him and “Agent Carter” showrunners Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas, who created the CW series “Reaper,” in which Marino appeared.
“We’ve loved working with Ken ever since he played a gay ex-demon for us on ‘Reaper,’ and we were so happy he was available for this role,” said “Agent Carter” exec producers Butters, Fazekas and Chris Dingess, who also worked on the CW show. “His range is incredible — he can go from comedy to romance to drama with ease. Writing for him is easy, because he can do pretty much anything. And he used to have a karaoke room in his house, which makes him even more awesome.”
