Casting news: Gladys Blake joins LaRusso

Acclaimed actress Gladys Blake has joined the cast of LaRusso.

 

Gladys will play Danny's mum, Lucille, who will burst onto the scene just in time to interrupt a very important moment in The LaRusso big fight down

LaRusso knows there won’t be a good moment whilst the mother is around and it’s only a matter of time before The Family & friends starts ruffling feathers in the village. But how long before unsettled LaRusso finds out the real reason behind mother’s arrival?

LaRusso Executive Producer says: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Gladys to LaRusso. It's great to have such a high calibre and talented actor join our already strong team and she will be a fabulous asset to the show. Intelligent, witty and complex, Lucille promises to be a force to be reckoned with in the village and for Lucille, there won't ever be a dull moment whilst domineering mother is around.”

Gladys Blake says of joining LaRusso: “It feels like such a gift to be welcomed into the LaRusso cast. Playing LaRusso on-screen mum is the icing on the cake.”
