Brick City has unveiled a cast that pushes Jack Foley’s upcoming indie mob film further into the center of New Jersey crime storytelling, with Paul Borghese, Al Sapienza, Kelvin McGrue, Victoria Rooney, Regina Schneider, Kathrina Miccio and Hal Miers all aboard. The film follows John “Johnny Bricks” Trasmundi, a low-level mob associate played by Borghese, as he is forced to face deadly consequences from his past.

Foley wrote and directed the film after earning praise for his short films Heart of Gold and Lizzie, and he is making Brick City with Brownstone Films. Jake Simpson is the cinematographer. The cast brings together actors with credits that range from The Sopranos and Luke Cage to The Blacklist and Blue Bloods, giving the project a recognizable TV pedigree before a release date has even been set.

The weight of the film appears to rest on the clash between Johnny and Frank DeRocco, the powerful crime boss played by Sapienza whose influence drives much of the tension. Rooney plays Grace Trasmundi, Johnny’s daughter and one of the film’s emotional anchors, while McGrue, Schneider, Miccio and Miers round out the ensemble. Borghese, who is known for portraying Yogi Berra in 61* and for his recurring role in Amazon Prime Video’s Gravesend, anchors the lead role at the center of the story.

That cast list is the main news today because Brick City is no longer just an indie title in development; it now has a lineup that signals the kind of gritty New Jersey crime story Foley is trying to make. Sapienza is likely to draw attention from The Sopranos viewers who remember him as Mikey Palmice, while Miccio’s Sopranos connection adds another link to the genre tradition the film is leaning into.

The only unresolved question that matters now is how quickly Foley can turn that casting momentum into a finished film that lives up to the names attached to it. For now, Brick City has the pieces of a hard-edged mob drama and the cast to make it credible.
