Ken Marino Cast in Agent Carter

Marvel has cast Ken Marino (Childrens Hospital, Vinyl) in season 2 of Agent Carter. He will play Joseph Manfredi, described as " a volatile leader in the Maggia crime syndicate who will help Peggy Carter’s adversaries further their agenda." The executive producers commented,

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. 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.

Marvel head of television Jeph Loeb said,

At Marvel, even our villains need a certain degree of charm as they make life difficult for our heroes. Ken brings a quality to Joseph Manfredi that only serves to make him even more menacing, adding another layer of depth to our already outstanding supporting cast.
