LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Adrien Brody, Lorraine Bracco and Kevin Corrigan have joined the cast of the upcoming comedy series Dice, Showtime announced.

Brody will guest star as himself in one episode, while Bracco will appear in two episodes as Toni, who is described in a press release as "a Vegas overlord who owns series star Andrew Dice Clay's gambling debts."

"As the casino boss where [stand-up comedian] Dice works and plays, she forces him to perform whenever and wherever she wants. In a series-regular role, Corrigan will star as Milkshake, Dice's best friend and right-hand man."

The half-hour, single-camera comedy began production this month. It is to premiere in 2016.
